WRRS 10499

NORBANA 2. ROMAN REPUBLIC. 83 BC. AR Denarius. Moneyer: C. Norbanus. Diademed head of Venus right; C. NORBANVS below; control number behind. Reverse: Ear of corn, fasces, and caduceus. The reverse likely alludes to the moneyer’s father and his actions in Sicily during the Social War, where he raised troops, organised a fleet, and provisioned Rhegium. This was a very large issue, with control numbers running from I to CCXXVIIII.
