EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 12:46 pm My first foray into republic coinage. I really like the city goddess with turreted head. I was drawn to this one because the turreted heads on the later Roman bronzes are just about indistinguishable as such, and it is nice to see clearly what was being reflected in the design.
