Historical context

This silver coin belongs to the Roman Empire during the imperial period spanning from 27 BC to AD 476. It was produced under an anonymous issuing authority at an uncertain mint, forming part of the coinage attributed to the Civil Wars.

Struck as a denarius, the standard Roman silver coin introduced around 211 BC during the Second Punic War, the piece served as regular currency within the empire. The obverse depicts Victory on a globe flanked by the personifications of Hispania and Gallia with a cornucopia and shield, bearing the legend "CONCORDIA HISPANIARVM ET GALIARVM". The reverse displays Victory in a biga holding a curved bow, accompanied by the inscription "VICTORIA P R".
