A denarius (plural denarii) is an ancient Roman coin made of silver. Like most countries, ancient Roman coins represented a portion of a larger denomination. The smallest denomination issued at the time was the as (plural asses). A denarius functioned similarly to the United States penny in today’s commerce.
Republican moneyer, probably the father of the C. Curiatius (q.v.) who issued coins in 135 BC. He is probably also the C. Curiatius who was Tribune of the Plebs in 138 BC. His coins are marked CCVR TRIGE (with VR ligatured).
