Year:27 BC-14 AD. munt:Æ Sestertius gewicht; 33 mm , 21,8 g City:Rome mint. Struck 16 BC. OB Ti. Sempronius Graccus, moneyer. REV: Legend in three lines within oak-wreath flanked by two laurel branches Large S C; countermarks: radiate head right and Lunar goddess(?) standing left. Helios Early Augustan Sestertius: Radiate head of Helios r.; std. lunar deity with crescent above head Also referred to as a 'nailed helmet'. Sometimes this 'radiate' head is found struck twice on examples of Augustan sestertii and, occasionally, it is found paired with this standing lunar diety. This latter type should make the 'Helios' designation of the other countermark a certainty. Countermark Martini Pangerl Collection 65. http://www.romancoins.info/counterm...d-Baker.html The otherside you see nothing, that is dameged Report this Post to the Staff
