| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horseman gallops left at full stride, depicted in a tall plumed helmet and holding a spear couched under his arm while bearing a round shield; the dynamic composition conveys martial energy characteristic of late Republican moneyer coinage. The partial legend TORQVA appears below the horse, referencing the moneyer L. Manlius Torquatus, while Q (for Quaestor) is placed above the horse, and EX•S•C (Ex Senatus Consulto — by decree of the Senate) occupies the exergue. The bold, deeply cut relief and the vigorous treatment of the horse and rider reflect the accomplished die-cutting of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
L. Manlius Torquatus served as moneyer during a period when Roman attention was fixed on two simultaneous military crises: the Jugurthine War in North Africa and the mounting pressure from Cimbric migrations pressing toward the northern frontier. The EX S C notation — indicating the senate authorized this specific issue — was not a formality; it flags an extraordinary emission, likely tied to military financing demands that exceeded routine coinage scheduling.
The Manlii Torquati traced their cognomen to T. Manlius Imperiosus, who allegedly stripped a torque from a defeated Gaul in single combat during the 4th century BC.
