Thanks for pointing it out. It's on my watch list now.

The lot sold for $132 but I didn't win it.
It certainly does appear to be a Julius Caesar denarius.

Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and bid on them and won. I needed a Julius Caesar "fill in" until I can step up to purchase a higher grade one. They look to be all Roman and identifiable. I've started to identify them off the top of my head. Although I'm not too familiar with Republican Coinage. If anyone wants to pitch in feel free  Thanks! 1. Trajan 2. Septimius Severus 3. 4. Gallienus 5. Julius Caesar Denarius (of Course) 6. 7. Hadrian 8. 9. 10. 11. Victory crowning winged helmeted head of Roma right. X behind. The Dioscuri riding right, ROMA in exergue, and below the horses 12. 13. 14. 15. Hadrian

The text under the quadriga on #6 appears to end in an "N"...so maybe Lucius Appuleius Saturninus. (L SATVRN reverse)

The reverse of #9 is pretty far gone. I suspect the coin was issued by either C. Calpurnius Piso Frugi or L. Valerius Acisculus. You may need to get this one in hand, under a loop, to get a better sense of the reverse imagery - that might help pin it down.

#12 has an obverse legend to the right of Roma - and it doesn't appear to be "ROMA"...and there is an "X" under the chin. I suspect that, given the quadriga reverse, this may be an issue of Q. Fabius Labeo. Banker's mark on the obverse?

#13 might be Antonius Balbus with a Jupiter/quadriga combo.

Wow slow down Bob. You never cease to amaze me. That is enough info to investigate further.

Heh, any excuse to avoid the work I should be doing is welcome.
#14 is a bit of a challenge since there were several moneyers who issued Roma denarii with an X under the obverse chin, with no obverse legend to the right, and with a quadriga reverse.
There appears to be an "M" starting the word to the right of the horse's legs, which leads me to believe that the issuer may have been M. Papirius Carbo (M CARBO)...but this may be another coin you'll have to get under a loop to tell for sure.

That is so funny because now that I'm working from home, my work hours are somehow getting longer  If you watch the show "pawn stars", there is an expert that is called upon from time to time called "The Beard of Knowledge" - you remind me of him. |
