Pomponius Silver Denarius Almost Uncirculated (AU50) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ancient Roman Republic (509–27 BCE) was a system of government that replaced Rome’s monarchy and laid the foundation for one of history’s greatest civilizations. Characterized by a complex balance of power, it featured elected magistrates, the Senate, and popular assemblies that represented different segments of society. The Republic expanded rapidly through military conquest, diplomacy, and alliances, eventually dominating the Italian peninsula and much of the Mediterranean world. Though it prided itself on civic duty and shared governance, tensions between the patrician elite and the plebeian commoners shaped its politics. Over time, growing inequality, ambitious generals, and civil wars weakened the system, paving the way for the rise of Julius Caesar and the transition to the Roman Empire under Augustus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObverse: The head of Roma facing right wearing an Attic helmet, with the denomination mark X behind the head, surrounded by a dotted border. \u003cbr\u003eReverse: A naked Gallic warrior in a biga galloping to the right, holding a shield, carnyx and reins in their left hand, and hurling a spear with their right hand, surrounded by a border of dots. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications: \u003cbr\u003eComposition: Silver \u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 3.64 g \u003cbr\u003eDiameter: Approx 19 mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated \u003cbr\u003eMint: Narbo\/Colonia Narbo Martius, Gaul","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51803408990497,"sku":"AC-0314","price":356.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/AC-0314.jpg?v=1757683583","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/ac-0314-ancient-roman-republic-118bc-lpomponius-silver-denarius-au50","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
