Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 6:12 pm When I bought this coin it was described as: Silla Denarius Quadriga What I have found out so far is that there is no 'Silla' but that there is a 'Lucius Cornelius Sulla' . Could this be one of his Denarii? I cannot find a match. Is it Obv. Pegasus, Rev, Quadriga? Edited by Topcat7 03/10/2015 6:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 6:31 pm @ Ski, Sear 5 0084 would appear to be a Biga, isn't it? My coin is a Quadriga. Don't you see 'Pegasus'? Do you see a helmeted Athena perhaps? Edited by Topcat7 03/10/2015 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 7:05 pm On all of the 'Quadriga' Right coins that I have looked at, the hind legs of the horses are on the same HORIZONTAL plane. The hind legs of the horses on my coin are all on the same INCLINED plane. Is this significant? Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 06:48 am With Biancasdad's help I believe that this coin is M. Sergius Sillus Struck 116-115 B.C. AR Denarius. If you look at the exergue on my coin I think that I can see 'SILLVS' there. Please tell me if you think so, too. Also any information down this road would help, too. Thanks.
