Struck in the heart of Rome during the late Roman Republic, this silver denarius dates back to 67 BC. Weighing about 3.75 grams, the ancient coin offers a physical connection to the administrative and religious life of the period, cataloged by numismatists as Crawford 409/2. The obverse of the coin displays the right-facing bust of Cybele, recognizable by her distinct turreted crown. On the reverse, the central design showcases a curule chair, an important symbol of political and magisterial authority in Roman society. This particular specimen survives in Choice Very Fine condition, preserving the intricate details of both the deity and the ceremonial seat.
