Description: | 109 Roman Republican silver denarii.
The denarius was worth 10 asses (singular 'as': a cast bronze, and later copper, Roman coin). The silver content used to manufacture denarii was higher in Republican, rather than the later Imperial, period. The denarius became devalued (in terms of real silver content) during and after the reign of Nero. Nos. 491-607 [less any Coats specimens] of Ian Campbell's mss catalogue of the
Roman Republican collection. From the original collection of Dr. William Hunter. | Subjects: | History; Numismatics | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Address: | University of Glasgow,
