The X behind Roma was used on early denarii to indicated a value of 10 asses. In 141 B.C. the denarius was revalued at 16 asses and the denomination mark was changed to XVI. This issue returned to the use of X as a denomination mark, however, it no longer indicated a value of 10 asses; it was simply the traditional mark of a denarius. Later denarii issues would return to indicating the denomination with XVI, but the numeral would be in monogram (X).

|211-100| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |Anonymous,| |211| |-| |206| |B.C.||denarius|
The Roman denarius was introduced in 211 B.C., initially weighing about 4.5 grams. The word denarius is derived from the Latin deni "containing ten," as its value was 10 asses, although in the middle of the 2nd century B.C. it was revalued to 16 asses or four sestertii. The denarius was the most common Roman coin for centuries but was slowly debased in weight and silver content until its replacement by the double denarius, called the antoninianus, early in the 3rd century A.D.
