maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 08:25 am When I started collecting I learned a lot from buying low to mid grade LRB. I have recentlay started dabbling with LRB again buying decent examples when I can find them cheap enough. This one is a common enough VRBS ROMA wolf and twins from Siscia but I haven't had one in this sort of condition before. The pleasing style was what first caught my attention. This is enhanced by the nice detail. Commemorative AE3 Obv:- VRBS ROMA, Helmeted bust of Roma left Rev:- -, She wolf feeding Romulus and Remus, two stars above Minted in Siscia (//Gamma SIS). Reference:- RIC VII Siscia 222 Martin Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 11:03 am For reasons not entirely clear I have noticed that quite a few of the finest examples of this type I have seen are from Siscia. Perhaps many of them came from a well preserved hoard? Don't know. But you have a very nice one here. Report this Post to the Staff
