It means there are 2 minim beats per bar.
Four
If a time signature is 4/4, there are four crotchet beats per bar, so a maximum of four crotchet beats can be fitted into each bar. In 3/4, there are three crotchet beats per bar. in 6/8, there are six quavers per bar, and this gives a lilting feel. This could also be translated at 2 dotted crotchets per bar.
The top number in the time signature indicates how many beats per bar. In 6/8 time, for example, there are six beats per measure, and an eighth note is one beat.
The time signature Common Time (sometimes abbreviated to C), refers to a time signature of 4/4, or four crotchet beats per bar.This should not be confused with "cut common time", commonly represented by a C with a vertical line through the centre, which refers to a time signature of 2/2, or two minim beats to the bar.
in music it is a line used to divide the piece into bars with a certain number of beats based on the time signature
