Valecrucis Valued Member United Kingdom 435 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 5:15 pm Thanks to all for joining in this thread. I really do enjoy seeing these types...so many variations in style and artistic quality. The one cuckoo in the nest was a nice surprise too, Ancientnoob! Any more?

Valecrucis Valued Member United Kingdom 435 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 5:48 pm Well, Ancientnoob, I think VKs coin on this thread counts as a 'defeat of' commemorative too. Unlike the vainglorious Roman style it possesses a far more classy 'you call yourselves unconquerable?' kind of sarcasm. Much better! Nice Urbs Roma there TC7....good depiction of Romulus and Remus playing pattercake... Edited by Valecrucis 11/01/2014 5:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 6:29 pm Great thread and great coins! Here is one, PCONST with the Chi Rho. It's pretty rough flan, but it is nearly as struck. Another nice little AQS from Aquila I was happy to get from Victor. There are a lot of barbarous, unofficial coins of these types. Here is one with VRBS ROMA obv. and Victory rev. And another one with a right facing bust of Constantinopolis. And here are my two official VRBS ROMAs. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 11/01/2014 8:02 pm Commemorating the defeat of the Carthaginians.. Cn. Blasio. Cn.f. 112-111 BC. AR Denarius 3.58 g. Obv. Helmeted head of Scipio Africanus as Jupiter right Rev. Jupiter standing between Juno and Minerva; Q in right field. Crawford 296/1c; Sydenham 561b; Cornelia 19. and... Commemorating the defeat of the Greeks T. Quinctius Flamininus, AR denarius, 3.82g c.BC 126. ROMA obverse and Twin horse riders. One old auction discription of the same coin, says that the TQ is the monogram of the moneyers ancestor, the Titus Quinctius Flamininus that defeated, Philip V of Macedon, in the final conquest of the Greeks and Phoenicians. The coin is dated after the death of T. Quinctius Flamininus in approx. BC 174 I love the trouncing of the Macedonian Shield. Edited by Ancientnoob 11/01/2014 8:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
