Serrate Denarius of C. Hosidius C.f. Geta, Rome 68 BCE-54 BCE

Editor: So, here's a Serrate Denarius of C. Hosidius C.f. Geta, a Roman coin. It's tiny, but those serrated edges make it look almost like a cogwheel. What's your read on this little piece of history? Curator: Well, imagine holding power in your palm! The serrations? Those were a genius way to prove it wasn't just plated base metal. It's visual honesty, like Roman bling with integrity. See the wild boar? Symbol of courage, perhaps a nod to Geta's military prowess? Editor: That's fascinating! I didn't think about the serrations as a sign of authenticity. Curator: Exactly! Every detail whispers stories. It’s a tiny time capsule. Editor: I'll never look at a coin the same way again. Thanks!
