I wanted a coin of Sulla for my historical figures collection. This came up several days ago from a German auction house. I got it for my first and only bid so I am happy. It is a coin of Pompeius Rufus the referee to Sulla on the reverse. I really like that the legends are readable on this Coin. I am also a fan of the dark toning.

Please post your coins of Pompeius Rufus, Sulla, or any coins from the same general time period.

Solid details and respectable condition. Nice pick up!

It seems like not many Republican denarii lack any sort of diety or portrait... certainly a break from the standard Roma / Quadriga theme!
