Who face was on the Roman coin?

Answer 1

There were many, many faces on Roman coins. The most images were naturally of the emperor, but other prominent people were also depicted. Coins were not only pieces of money in the Roman world, they were also sources of information. For example, if a general had a important victory, a coin would be issued with his face on one side and a symbol of his victory on the other. An example of this is the coins of Marcus Agrippa. Cities or provinces would also issue coins perhaps commemorating a visit by the emperor and his family or some other dignitary. Usually their wives were depicted with them.

Answer 2

Everybody and everything seemed to appear on Roman coins. There was no set standard for images on coinage such as we have today. Usually the emperor was depicted on one side and symbols of something he did on the other. But other officials could issue coins, such as Julius Caesar, Marcus Agrippa, Marc Antony and Octavian. Sometimes they were depicted with their wives. Some coins were issued in memory of a great event or simply to honor someone. As coins were a form of information, they all had a symbol of an achievement on one side.
