- Summary:
- Victoriatus, Issued by Ancient Roman Republic, 206-195 BC
Privy Mark: Dog
Minted in Rome - Statement Of Significance:
- The denomination Victoriatus was introduced in 211 BC at the same time as the denarius. The Vicroriatus weighed 2/3 of the denarius and may have been struck from lower quality silver alloys. Symbols, such as the dog on this example, would originally have identified the person responsible for the production of the coin. Who they were is now unknown. The dog also appears on the denarius and five copper denominations.
