Can anyone please tell me anything about M. Sergius Sillus coins, Struck 116-115 B.C. AR Denarius. Head of Roma?

I cannot find any coin examples on 'Wildwinds' only this reference.

I am seeking help, please?

Thank-you B.D. I checked both references that you gave and while I did not find my coin there I am convinced that now I am on the right track.
Those 'Sillus' coins have the name 'Sillus' on the exergue, and I believe that mine has, too. (see post Lucius Cornelius Sulla Denarius).
Thanks VERY much, again.

Thanks Nate. I missed that post. Very interesting and thanks again.
That coin is more the traditional 'Silus' type with the horseman holding the Barbarian's head.
Mine has the Quadriga on the Rev.
Also while most of the examples I have found have the spelling of 'SILA' my coin appears to be spelled 'SVLLVS'. This puzzles me?
Do we have two individuals? A ruler and a moneyer perhaps?

Could you show us a picture of your coin T.C.. I would like to see it, because Roman Republican coinage is very eye appealing to me
