| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hercules, nude and holding a trophy over his left shoulder with the reins in his left hand and a club raised in his right hand, stands in a quadriga driven at a gallop to the right. The four horses are depicted in vigorous motion, filling the reverse field with dynamic energy typical of the action quadriga type favored in mid-Republican denarius coinage. The legend ROMA appears in the exergue below the ground line, separated from the main device by a clear exergual line. The composition reflects the heroic and triumphal iconography associated with the gens Acilia and their claims to the Herculean tradition. |

Issued by Manius Acilius as moneyer around 130 BC, this denarius falls within a period of sharp political tension in Rome — just three years before the assassination of Gaius Gracchus's brother Tiberius, whose land reform legislation was fracturing the Senate. The Acilii were a plebeian family with a long record of consular office; a Manius Acilius Glabrio had defeated Antiochus III at Thermopylae in 191 BC, a victory still well within Roman cultural memory when this coin was struck.
RRC 255/1 is known from a relatively modest die study, with no significant documented varieties separating the series.
