| Beschrijving keerzijde | Virtus, the divine personification of Roman martial virtue, stands facing left in a composed military pose. She holds a Victoriola (small Victory figurine) in her extended right hand and a parazonium (short military sword) in her lowered left hand, with her right knee bent in a stance conveying controlled strength. The figure is rendered in the classical style associated with the civil war coinage of AD 68–69. The reverse legend VIRTVS appears in the field, identifying the personification. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This denarius belongs to one of the most chaotic intervals in Roman monetary history — the Year of the Four Emperors. Issued under Clodius Macer, the rebel governor of Africa who briefly strangled Rome's grain supply by blockading North African shipments, it represents coinage struck entirely outside the imperial mint system. Macer was assassinated on Galba's orders before he could press his claim further.
The Africa mint's output from this period is genuinely scarce. Macer never achieved recognized imperial status, and his coins circulated for only months.
