There is a helmeted bust on the obverse, probably of Roma facing right with curl on left shoulder. On the reverse are four horses, probably pulling a quadriga carrying Jupiter with a thunderbolt in his left hand and a branch in his right. The denarius is very worn and most of the details are illegible, however, it can be identified as number 285/1 in Roman Republican Coinage by Crawford which was minted in Rome in 116 -115 BC.
