This coin is from the ancient Greek city-state of Rome. This ancient coin is called a Quadrigatus. This coin was struck when Rome was a city-state just like other city-states like Athens, Corinth and Syracuse. Subsequently, Rome sent her legions to conquer adjacent territories creating the Roman Empire.
