NGC Graded Roman Republic 90 BC Silver Denarius Coin C. Vib. C. F. Pansa Apollo

This is an NGC graded Roman Republic silver denarius minted in 82 BC during the Roman Republic era. The coin features an image of Apollo on one side and a quadriga on the reverse. This ancient coin was minted in the Ancient Roman Empire by C.

Pansa and is a valuable piece of history from this time period. The difference between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire is that the Republic was a representative democracy with power distributed among elected officials and the Senate, while the Empire was ruled by a single emperor, marking a shift from a shared power system to a centralized autocracy; the transition occurred when Julius Caesar's adopted heir, Octavian (Augustus), consolidated power after a series of civil wars, effectively ending the Republic and establishing the Empire.
