Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 11/22/2012 11:29 pm Here are a few snaps I took of the replica coins used in Spartacus Blood and Sand series. There are more scenes but these might be the closest to see the details of the coins. I'm wondering what these replicas were modeled after. Does anyone know? I looked around for information about it, out of curiosity. I also thought that some people here might be interested in seeing them. I also included a abacus. Report this Post to the Staff

(minted between 87-86 BC) To think this was circulating when Spartacus's rebellion was going on! Edited by VisigothKing 11/22/2012 11:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 08:52 am I don't think it can be Sextus Pompey. Spartacus lived from c. 109â€"71 BC, while Sextus, the youngest son of Pompey the Great, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, lived from 67 BC â€" 35 BC. But interesting all the same. I also wonder if these fakes used for the movies, somehow made it into numismatic circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Could be about anything judging from the pics, but they are not very strict, usually, about the coins they use in the movies Coins shown in "Rome" TV series... In "The man who would be King" (Excellent film )... Report this Post to the Staff
