Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 7:10 pm Tryin' very hard to focus more on Greece (along with a consistent effort to find one of those pesky coins minted in 1491 AD), but somehow picked up this Denarius from the Roman Republic (circa 90 BC). @chrsmat71, does a pretty good describing his example of this coin, so I won't repeat those words here: http://goccf.com/t/190634 except to note that the control marks on mine are D and A on the obv and T on the rev. The attribution is RSC Calpurnia 11, Crawford 340/1, and Sydenham 665a.

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 9:25 pm Thanks guys, I was especially attracted to the rev as that palm frond in the rider's hand looks a little bit like a cape to me!
