Roman Republic

2,352 coin types catalogued

The Roman Republic lasted nearly five centuries, from 509 BC to 27 BC. Its coinage evolved from simple cast bronze bars to the iconic silver denarius, which became the standard currency of the Mediterranean world. Republican coins are catalogued by Crawford reference numbers (RRC) and often depict symbols of Roman religion, military victories, and the political ambitions of the moneyers who struck them.
