Few ancient coins are as recognizable as the Roman denarius. This small silver coin carries massive historical significance. Produced from 211 BC until the middle of the 3rd century AD, this denomination served as the backbone of Roman coinage and was the inspiration behind many later European coins. These small silver coins were the main denomination of the Roman Republic through the early Roman Empire, and over the course of many magistrates, politicians, and Emperors, millions were minted. Large amounts have survived in hoards until the present, where common issues can actually be quite affordable!
