Description: | Roman republican denarius of M. Aburius Geminus in 132 BC (Crawford, M. H. 1974. Roman Republican Coinage, ref. 250). On the obverse is the helmeted head of Roma facing right, with a star in front and the letters GEM behind. The reverse has the sun god Sol in a four-horse chariot with M. ABVRI below and ROMA in the exergue. This is the second oldest Roman coin to have been found in the Colchester area. An issue of M. Iunius dated to 145 BC (ibid, ref. 220/1) was found at Lion Walk during excavations in the early 1970s. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -132 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
