Serrate Denarius of L. Licinius L.f. C.n. Crassus, Cn. Domitius Cn.f. Cn.n. Ahenobarbus, and M. Aurelius Scaurus, Narbo c. 118

Editor: Here we have the Serrate Denarius of L. Licinius L.f. C.n. Crassus, Cn. Domitius Cn.f. Cn.n. Ahenobarbus, and M. Aurelius Scaurus. I find it amazing how so much detail is packed into such a small coin. What do you make of it? Curator: It's like holding a tiny universe, isn't it? The serrated edge is so tactile and deliberate – almost a rebellious act against the smooth, predictable coins of its time. I see power, prosperity, and maybe even a touch of anxiety reflected in that stern portrait. What stories do you imagine this coin could tell? Editor: I guess a lot depends on who held it, huh? Curator: Exactly! Imagine the hands it passed through, the deals it sealed, the secrets it witnessed. A humble coin, yet a silent narrator of history. Editor: That's a great way to think of it. I'll never look at a coin the same way again.
