| Obverse description | Bare bearded head of Romulus facing right, rendered in archaic Republican style with flowing hair and beard, occupying the full field of the flan. The portrait is boldly struck in high relief, reflecting the restitutor coinage conventions employed under Trajan. The encircling Latin legend reads C MEMMI C F QVIRINVS, identifying the original moneyer Gaius Memmius, son of Gaius, and the divine epithet Quirinus — the deified name of Romulus. The coin is a Trajanic restitution of a Republican denarius originally issued by the gens Memmia, and the flan shows the characteristic irregular outline of hammered coinage. |
