| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Roma facing right, rendered in the vigorous late-Republican style, with the winged helmet typical of denarii of this period. The legend ROMA appears in the left field behind the bust, while the mark of value X (denoting 16 asses) is positioned below the chin. The moneyer's cognomen LABEO appears in the right field, serving as part of the identifying inscription for the issuing magistrate Quintus Fabius Labeo. |

| Reverse description | Jupiter, depicted in a dynamic composition, drives a fast-moving quadriga galloping to the right, wielding a thunderbolt in his raised right hand while controlling the reins and sceptre with his left. The horses are rendered in an energetic, overlapping arrangement characteristic of Republican moneyers' die work. A prow (rostrum), a reference to naval victory, appears below the horses' hooves. The moneyer's abbreviated name Q•FABI (Quintus Fabius) is inscribed in the exergue, identifying the issuing tresvir monetalis. |
