a Roman coin
Roman coins bore the images of the emperors and legends which referred to the emperor in the form which was liked by the emperor who issued the coins.
In the Roman Empire the solidus was a Roman gold coin which replaced the silver denarius as the main currency unit of the Roman Empire. In the British Commonwealth, before decimalisation, it was a punctuation mark used to denote the shilling and was also called the shilling mark.
Roman coins could be likened to newspaper headlines because they were brag books for the emperors and generals. The coins would have the head of the issuer, say an emperor, on one side and a picture of something he did or was commemorating on the other. There would be abbreviated words around the rim of the coin giving the holder a further idea of what the issuer of the coin did and who he was.
