Anonymous Victoriati - The victoriatus was a silver coin issued during the Roman Republic from about 221 BC to 170 BC. The obverse of the coin featured the bust of Jupiter and the reverse featured Victory placing a wreath upon a trophy with the inscription "ROMA" in exergue. The name victoriatus is an ancient term, attested by several contemporary texts and inscriptions. The coin was known as a tropaikon, due to the trophy on the reverse among Greek speakers.
