| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted bust of Roma facing right, depicted with flowing hair beneath the helmet and wearing armor, rendered in the Roman Republican tradition. The legend ROMA appears to the right of the bust in the field, with S C placed below, referencing senatorial authority. The portrait is executed in a bold, somewhat provincial style characteristic of the brief usurpation coinage of Clodius Macer. The flan is irregular and slightly worn, consistent with the hastily produced nature of this emergency issue. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A military trophy stands centrect, composed of a cuirass surmounting a pole with arms attached, flanked on either side by two large oval shields rendered in relief. Below the trophy, additional captured arms are depicted at the base. The encircling legend L CLODI MACRI reads around the periphery, identifying the issuing commander Lucius Clodius Macer, the rebellious governor of Africa Proconsularis. A dotted border frames the design, and the overall style reflects the hasty, utilitarian production typical of this short-lived usurpation coinage of AD 68. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucius Clodius Macer, governor of Africa, struck this denarius in 68 AD during his brief revolt against Nero — and then against Galba, whose authority he equally refused to recognize. He controlled Rome's primary grain supply from North Africa, a leverage point he used aggressively. Galba had him executed within months, ending both the rebellion and the coinage. Surviving examples are genuinely scarce; the entire series was produced over a window of perhaps six to eight months before the mint was suppressed.
