Before the Roman Empire, there was the Roman Republic… where ancient Rome was ruled by the powerful Senate and moneyers were responsible for creating the coins used by the citizens of this rising power.

This silver coin, a Denarius, was minted by moneyer M Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus in 57 BC in Rome. On the Front (obverse) It pictures the personification of Bonus Eventus. Bonus Eventus was the personification of Success of Good Fortune - Bonus Eventus translates to: Good Outcome. On the back (reverse) is the winged caduceus. (See below for more on this rare issue.)

April's Notes: Here we have one of those unique, and quite rare, Republican issues. Bonus Eventus - the personification of success and good fortune - literally a "good outcome" in stunning detail. His upward glance, strong profile and  And... the history behind this issues is equally fascinating.

On the reverse is a bold winged caduceus. While we associate this symbol with medicine (the traditional symbol for medicine is the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and no wings), in Ancient Rome, the caduceus was the staff of the messenger god, Mercury. It was used to symbolize diplomacy and peace.
