Quinarius of Q. Titius Mutto, Rome 90 BCE-87 BCE

Curator: Here we have a Quinarius of Q. Titius Mutto, from Rome. Editor: It's so small! And worn, yet there’s a certain gravity to its existence. Curator: It's silver, about 2.12 grams, minted by Q. Titius Mutto. Notice the head of Roma on one side? Editor: Yes, and on the other, a winged horse springs forth. I wonder about the stories this little coin could tell? Curator: Each image carefully considered for symbolic weight. Editor: What a testament to power—captured in something so delicate. Curator: Indeed, a tangible link to the ancient world. Editor: A tiny world, holding big ideas.
