The silver denarius emerged as the cornerstone of Roman Republican currency following its introduction around 211 BCE. It became the standard coin used in trade and for compensating soldiers across the empire for centuries. The coin’s name was derived from its value, each denarius contained approximately 4.5 grams of silver and was worth ten bronze asses. The term denarius itself comes from the Latin word meaning “containing ten.” Today, Roman Republic Piso Frugi AR Denarius Coins are available from JM Bullion in Extremely Fine condition.
Coin Highlights:
The Roman Republic emerged around 509 BCE following the overthrow of the last Etruscan king, establishing a constitutional system based on shared power among magistrates, the Senate, and popular assemblies. Over nearly five centuries, Rome transformed from a small city-state into a Mediterranean superpower through relentless military expansion, defeating rivals like Carthage and the Hellenistic kingdoms while developing sophisticated political and legal institutions.
This Roman Republic Piso Frugi AR Denarius Coin is in Extremely Fine condition and is crisply struck. The coin features a medium-gray patina with slight accents of charcoal toning around the fields. The coin also has a 4/5 grade for the strike and a 5/5 grade for the surface. The strike grade refers to the original qualities of the coin when it was struck, such as the centering, strength, and evenness of the design. The surface grade refers to the qualities of the coin post-production, including its luster, possible corrosion, or abrasions.
On the obverse of Piso Frugi AR Denarius Coins, you’ll find a right-profile effigy of the god Apollo wearing laureate wreath. The reverse of the Roman Republic Piso Frugi Denarius Coin comes with the image of a horseman holding a palm branch. Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi, like his relative Caesoninus, was a Republican magistrate and moneyer. He served as consul in 133 BCE during a critical moment in Roman history, coinciding with Tiberius Gracchus’s controversial tribunate and agrarian reform efforts that would help trigger decades of political violence. Piso Frugi earned his cognomen “Frugi” (meaning “honest” or “frugal”) for his reputation for integrity and authored an early historical work on Rome.
