Museum Specimen Coin: Roman Æ Spintria Brothel Entry Token AVIII Bronze Coin Description Obverse: Heterosexual erotic scene – censured photosReverse: AVIII within wreath Diameter: ~ 36 mmWeight: ~ 29 g A “spintria” is a Roman coin with an erotic scene on one side and a the Roman number on the other. They seem to have been produced for only a short period, mostly in the 1st century AD. “Spintria” itself is a word bearing a different meaning in Latin but it is an entirely modern practice to apply it to these little objects. Archeologists are indeed unsure what the Romans called them… or what they used them for. But there are a number of guesses. The dominating idea circulating about these tokens is that they were part of the highly developed Roman brothel economy. Perhaps a Roman soldier got the token and then went and redeemed it at one of the local brothels. Or maybe the sexual position depicted on the token was what he had paid for. Now, as there is no evidence for these things at all, no-one could actually disprove that. However, there is no Roman mention of such things, none have been found in any place that has been identified as a “brothel”… and no mention of any kind of infrastructure of the ancient “brothel industry” that this kind of internal currency would imply. So what is a more likely explanation? Almost certainly these were tokens whose main function was the numeral, and the sex scene on the back was ‘decoration”. One possibility would be an amphitheatre token, and the Roman number would indicate which entrance you were to use. Another possible explanation is that it was a gaming token, for one of the many Roman board games. All the above comes to prove that: * Roman spintriae bear no erotic connotations; * Roman spintriae are not sexually oriented adult material!
