Silver Denarius VF-EF (VF30) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarcus Cipius M. f. was a Roman \u003ci\u003etriumvir monetalis\u003c\/i\u003e (moneyer) active in the mid-1st century BC, known almost entirely from his coinage rather than historical texts. The abbreviation “M. f.” stands for \u003ci\u003eMarci filius\u003c\/i\u003e (“son of Marcus”), a common way of identifying lineage on Roman Republican coins. His issues, typically silver denarii, follow the broader trend of the late Roman Republic, where moneyers used imagery—often mythological, religious, or symbolic—to reflect family identity and traditional Roman values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery little is recorded about his political or military career, and like many lesser-known moneyers, his existence is primarily preserved through numismatic evidence. His coins nonetheless contribute to our understanding of how personal branding and lineage were expressed through currency during the final decades of the Republic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObverse: The helmeted head of Roma facing right, with the denomination mark X behind her head, and counterclockwise moneyer mark to the right. \u003cbr\u003eReverse: Winged Victory in a biga galloping to the right, holding reins in her left hand and a palm-branch tied with a fillet in her right hand, with a rudder below the horses, and ROMA below the rudder. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications: \u003cbr\u003eComposition: Silver \u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 4 g \u003cbr\u003eDiamter: Approx. 17 mm \u003cbr\u003eMint: Rome","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52643653320993,"sku":"AC-0491","price":247.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/AC-0491.jpg?v=1779987744","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/ac-0491-ancient-roman-republic-115-114-bc-m-cipius-mf-silver-denarius-vf30","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
