This is a photograph of an ancient coin. The coin features a relief design depicting a group of figures, including a central figure on horseback surrounded by others, some holding banners or weapons. Below this scene is a smaller frieze depicting additional figures and elements such as shields. The outer periphery of the coin is inscribed with the words "SENATS POPLIS." The craftsmanship indicates close attention to detail, common in ancient civilizations' numismatic art. The coin appears to be made from a copper alloy, giving it an aged appearance.
