| Weight | 3.8 Grams | | Size | 22 mm | | Obv | Helmeted head of Roma right, ROMA behind | | Rev | Victory in quadriga right, wreath above, X below | | Metal | Silver | Reference and market value:
The standard design of this coin features the helmeted head of the goddess Roma on the obverse and the Dioscuri (the mythical twins, Castor and Pollux) galloping on horseback on the reverse
From the late 3rd century to c. 170 BC another silver denomination now known as the ‘victoriatus’ was issued
This is distinguished by the image of Victory crowning a trophy of arms on the reverse and was made of less pure silver, possibly a response to the financial pressures on Rome at the time
The obverse designs sometimes varied but those listed below occur most commonly:
