This carefully crafted modern reproduction commemorates a renowned Roman Republican denarius originally issued by moneyer Sextus Nonius Sufenas around 59 BC. The obverse features an imposing bearded head of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture, wealth, and time, symbolizing Rome's enduring prosperity and the republic's traditional virtues. The legend "S.C SVFENAS" refers to the issuing moneyer and indicates the authority of the Roman Senate (Senatus Consulto). The reverse is strikingly detailed, presenting a seated figure of Roma, the divine personification of the city of Rome, holding a spear, accompanied by Victory (Nike) standing to crown her. The inscription "SEX.NONI PR.L.V.P.F" identifies Sextus Nonius in his official capacity, marking the political and religious importance of this issue within the late Roman Republic context. This replica provides collectors a tangible connection to the complex political dynamics of Rome's last republican years, making it an insightful addition to any numismatic or historical collection.
