As it goes Nate, if I was looking at the pic I posted and having to guess, that would be my first. Unfortunately no, sorry.

I've seen this bust type, but can't put my finger on who it is. I have no idea.

Guess we will have to wait a few hours for resolution, it's close to 3am in the UK now.
Anyone for a small intermezzo with easy coins?

The bust is on a Roman republic coin.

That narrows it considerably down - King Tatius (on the Tituria series).

Ha! I knew someone would get that straight away with that clue. Med, your up. L TITURIUS L F SABINUS AR silver denarius. Struck 89 BC. Head of King Tatius right, palm below chin; SABIN behind. Reverse - L TITVRI in exergue, Tarpeia buried to her waist in shields, fending off two soldiers about to throw their shields on her.

Would have liked to leave it for 'chrsmat71', he had the right idea - but I guess that (most of) our American friends are asleep. Hope this is neither too easy nor too difficult:  |
