Denarius Oscensis 上市 Deposited

定義
  • A coin of the weight of a Roman Denarius but bearing as types: obverse, a youthful or bearded male head; reverse, a horseman, was issued in the second and first centuries B.C. from various mints in Spain to facilitate exchange between the local population and the Romans. This coin is spoken of as Argentum Oscense and Oscenses by Livy (xxxiv, 10; 46; xl, 43). The name is derived from the city of Osca (the modern Huesca) in Tarraconensis which was the capital of Sertorius and, owing to the proximity of large silver mines, was the principal place of issue of this coinage.
