British Museum . Lucius Clodius Macer was a legatus of the Roman Empire in Africa province Africa in the time of Nero . He revolted in May 68, cutting off the food supply of Rome , possibly at the instigation of Calvia Crispinilla . Although encouraged by Galba , Macer raised a legion Legio I Macriana liberatrix Legio I Macriana liberatrix in addition to the Legio III Augusta Legio III Augusta that he already commanded, presumably raising suspicion that Macer also harbored imperial ambitions, and in October 68 Galba had him killed by the procurator Roman procurator Trebonius Garutianus . Papirus, the centurion of Mucianus, was implicated in his assassination. He produced denarius denarii which are extremely rare today. Only about 85 are known to exist, of which only 20 bear his portrait. It is remarkable that he uses the formulaic abbreviation S C senatus consulto on his denarii, for this abbreviation otherwise had not appeared on Roman silver coins since about 40 BC. We may take this and his decision to portray himself without a laurel wreath or a diadem as evidence that he wished to portray his revolt as being against Nero, not the senate.

The obverse of the coin featured the bust of Jupiter god Jupiter and the reverse featured Victoria mythology Victory placing a wreath upon a trophy with the inscription ROMA in exergue. The coin originally weighed about 3.4 gram s 3 scruple s , meaning that it was half the value of the quadrigatus , a coin weighing 6 scruples that was by this time no longer produced. The victoriatus was made of a more debased silver than the denarius , which was introduced at about the same time. Hoard evidence indicates that the coin circulated in southern Italy and later Gaul, indicating that the coin was intended as replacement for the drachma or half nomos instead of as part of the normal Roman coin system. When first issued the victoriatus had a value of about 3 4ths of a denarius, however when the quinarius was reintroduced in 101 BC with a similar type, it was valued at 1 2 a denarius. This indicates that victoriatii that were still in circulation at this time were worn and considered to be worth only half a denarius. The reintroduced quinarius was produced mainly for Cisalpine Gaul, were the victoriatus and imitations were popular. The reintroduced quinarius may have continued to be called a victoriatus, although there is no written evidence of this. The name victoriatus is an ancient term, attested by several contemporary texts and inscriptions. The coin was known as a tropaikon due to the trophy on the reverse among Greek language Greek speakers. See also Roman currency .

The Reka Devnia Hoard was the most prolific find of Roman silver coins of the period from 64 to 238 AD to have ever been published. It was found near the town of Devnya , north eastern Bulgaria . The hoard consisted of 81,044 Denarius denarii found in 1929. The earliest coins were those of Marc Antony of which twenty nine were found, and the latest being one example of Herennius Etruscus . The hoard was broken into two, with 68,783 coins sent to the museum of Sofia , and 12,261 to Varna . The publication of the find has been invaluable to researchers reconstructing a chronological sequence of the era s coinage, and accessing the original volume of production of individual types. Many rare personages were represented in the hoard. Rare denarii published from Varna include thirteen denarii of Nero , eight of Galba , seven of Otho , twenty two of Vitellius , twenty four of Aelius Caesar , twenty one of Clodius Albinus , fifty one of Macrinus , eighteen of Diadumenian , and forty two of Julia Paula . However, it has been difficult to access the true comparative rarity of some of the scarcest types as undoubtedly examples from Varna were looted prior to the hoard s publishing. Dozens of scarce denarii of Pertinax , Aquilia Severa , and Sallustia Orbiana were found in the Sofia group while the Varna group was mysteriously devoid of all but one example of Pertinax and one example of Aquilia Severa.
