| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boar strides energetically to the right in high relief, its bristled back arched and tail curled upward, evoking the Erymanthian Boar of Herculean mythology. The animal is depicted with vigorous naturalism, its legs in mid-stride and snout extended. The exergual legend M•VOLTEI•M•F runs along the lower field in clear, well-spaced Latin capitals, identifying the moneyer Marcus Volteius, son of Marcus. The ground line below the boar is implied by the base of the legend. The reverse field is otherwise plain, focusing visual attention entirely on the central type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marcus Volteius issued a five-coin series as moneyer circa 78 BC, each type referencing a different Roman religious festival — an unusual programmatic coherence rarely attempted in Republican coinage. This piece corresponds to the Ludi Romani or Cereales, depending on the scholarly tradition followed. The moneyer himself is otherwise obscure; no further career is attested, leaving the series as essentially his entire historical footprint.
RRC 385/2 is among the more frequently encountered of the five types.
