pdg Valued Member New Zealand 89 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 01:02 am I bought this from a trader who didn't know what it was, beyond that it appeared to be Roman. I don't know ancients either but I like the rider and aqueduct design, and the price was worth the fun of researching it. By comparing it to images online my tentative ID is: Marcius Philippus (whoever he was), denarius, ca 56BC. Head of King Ancus Marcius obverse; equestrian statue, flower and aqueduct reverse. I don't have scales to weigh it but the diameter is 17mm. It has some damage and I understand it's a relatively common coin but I like it anyway. Any insights welcome, also as to its authenticity or otherwise. Edited by pdg 08/28/2022 01:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 7:54 pm The particular Lucius Marcius Philippus associated with this coinage (there were three generations with the same name) was a prominent governor and consul of the late Roman republican period. He was also the stepfather of Gaius Octavius, who later became the first Roman emperor, Augustus. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
