Beschrijving keerzijde Mars, the god of war, standing in a quadriga galloping to the right, depicted as a helmeted and armored figure holding a spear and shield with reins in his left hand and a military trophy aloft in his right hand. The four horses are shown in dynamic movement, their legs extended in full gallop. The moneyer's name appears in the exergue and field in two lines. The scene is enclosed within a border of raised dots, consistent with Republican coinage conventions.

Aanvullende informatie

L. Postumius Albinus served as moneyer around 131 BC, a period when Roman silver coinage was being struck in enormous volumes to fund the grinding campaigns against Aristonicus in Asia Minor — the conflict triggered by Attalus III's unexpected bequest of Pergamon to Rome. The treasury was under sustained pressure, and the denarius series from this decade shows it in the sheer quantity of dies brought into production.

RRC 252/1 is a single-type issue with no known sub-varieties of particular collecting consequence.
