Summary
| Description |
English: L. Vinicius. 52 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.84 g, 8h). Rome mint. Laureate head of Concordia right / Victory flying right, carrying palm frond decorated with four wreaths. Crawford 436/1; Campana, Vinicius 25-39 (O2/R3); Sydenham 930; Vinicia 1a; RBW 1548. Patches of luster, banker’s mark on obverse, light graffiti in field on reverse. Good VF. Of the 11 obverse dies recorded in Campana, only one has this obverse legend variation. Rare variety.
This reverse type depicts Victory carrying four wreaths attached to a palm frond, referring to Pompey’s three recent triumphs on three continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa), together with a fourth wreath, which is the golden crown, conferred on him by the Senate on the occasion of his triumph in 63 BC. The reverse also celebrates the good relationship between Pompey, Julius Caesar, and Crassus. |
