Comment
The gens Poblicia was a plebian family, but of consular rank.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare and unique design element - a serrated edge. This was a deliberate design choice made by the mint to prevent the coin from being easily counterfeited or tampered with. The serrations also served as a way to differentiate the Denarius serratus from other coins in circulation at the time.
