Description

Choice C. Servilius Vatia. 127 BC. AR Denarius. Helmeted head of Roma right; lituus behind / Horseman galloping right, holding a round shield inscribed with an M, spearing another horseman. Crawford 264/1; Sydenham 483; Servilia 6. About VF, attractively toned. Scarce and interesting type, the reverse type celebrates M. Servilius Pulex Geminus, who was elected augur in 211 BC (an office he held for some forty years) and consul in 202 BC. According to Plutarch, he received numerous wounds in twenty-three single combats, being victorious in all (Plutarch, Paulus Aemilius, xxxi).
