Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 5:06 pm It might be a Roman Republican denarius something like this . . . or with this same basic design: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ro...Default.aspx Looking at your coin there's a chance that it is a fouree.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 6:03 pm I agree it's Roman Republic, but without any name it's going to be difficult to find unless you go through every Gens. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 6:56 pm Fonteius Denarius: It shows a Genius on a goat, usually attributed as Cupid: Laureate head of Apollo Vejovis right, thunderbolt below, M FONTEI behind, CF below chin / Cupid on goat right, caps of the Dioscuri above Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 7:39 pm I think Ben might be right on this one, looked more like a horse than goat to me but because of the wear it can very well be a goat. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 8:03 pm If that's what it is a design similar to this was also used on an antoninianus of Valerian II. There it is the infant Jupiter on the goat Amalthea: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/mo..._ii_001.html Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo777 Valued Member United Kingdom 201 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 07:25 am You could probably pick up a reasonable example of this denarius for $100 - $200. In mint condition however you could pay as much as $800. Unfortunately this peice is badly worn and probably worth no more than about $5. Report this Post to the Staff
