The Legion Denarius, mangled is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background

This section is transcluded from Legion currency. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

Caesar's Legion uses two forms of currency, named for coins used by the Roman Empire. They are minted by the Legion from scavenged silver and gold, with each coin bearing the profile of Caesar.[Non-game 1]

Despite Caesar's poor relations with the other factions in New Vegas, Legion currency is still accepted as payment in the Mojave Wasteland, owing to the rare precious metals that they consist of.[Non-game 2] The exchange rate is 4 bottle caps to 1 denarius, and 100 bottle caps to 1 aureus.

The denarius (silver), which bears an image of a younger Caesar on the obverse and Caesar, Joshua Graham and Bill Calhoun on the reverse. The inscriptions are in Latin, "Caesar Dictator" meaning "Dictator Caesar" or "Absolute Ruler Caesar" on the front and "Magnum Chasma" meaning "Great Abyss" or "Great Fissure" on the back, referring to the Grand Canyon. The symbolism is simple - the denarius commemorates young Caesar's journey to the Canyon and his first victories as a dictator of the Grand Canyon tribes.

Variants

Location

These can be found on the bodies of enemies killed using crafted 12 gauge coin shot ammunition.

Notes

Despite the description of being mangled, it appears identical to the normal Legion Denarius, but is worth only half the value: 2 caps instead of 4.
