Summary
Plated Denarius struck under the moneyer P. Petronius Turpilianus in 19 BC, Ancient Roman Empire. Minted by Rome? The Rome mint ceased operation in about 40 BC. Evidence for it's re-opening largely relies on the revival of the Republican tradition of the names of the responsible member of the III Viri AAAFF. On this coin Turpilianus is named. This piece is thought to have originally been silver plated though all silver is now lost, it could well be unofficial.
