Comment
The Vargunteia gens is a family for which no information is known apart from these few coins issued by this moneyer.Interesting fact
The Denarius coin is interesting because it features a rare image of a Roman consul, Marcus Vargunteius, on its obverse side. This is unusual because Roman coins typically featured images of gods, goddesses, or other mythological figures, rather than real people. The inclusion of a consul's image on the coin may indicate that Vargunteius was a prominent figure in Roman politics at the time.
