Denarius Serratus (Coin) Depicting the Goddess Diana

The front (obverse) of this coin depicts the head of the goddess Diana facing to the right, with a quiver and bow on her shoulder. The skull and horn of an ox (called a bucranium) is in the field above. The back (reverse) depicts a priest in a toga facing to the left with his right hand raised as he sprinkels water over a sacrifical ox. A small lighted altar is between them. The inscription around the scene, A. POST. A. F. S. N. ALBIN, refers to the moneyer Aulus Postumius Albinus.
