The coin was known as a tropaikon (τροπαικον, due to the trophy on the reverse) among Greek speakers.
This indicates that victoriati that were still in circulation at this time were worn and considered to be worth only half a denarius.
The reintroduced quinarius was produced mainly for Cisalpine Gaul, where the victoriatus and its imitations were popular.
The victoriati abruptly cease to be deposited in Italian hoards in the mid-second century BC, probably indicating that they were officially withdrawn from circulation.
[1] The term victoriatus can still be found today in the family name Vettorato in the province of Venice, or Greekized to Vittoratos / Vitoratos in Kefalonia.
