DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 03:03 am I don't know who Fabricius is, but I think the date 472, 474 places it in Roman times. One side says "The disinterest of Fabricius, AD 472" and "The good faith of Fabricius, AD 474". Neoclassical subjects like this were popular in the late 18th C-mid 19th C.

Spider5689 & DVCollector...thanks guys as you are exactly right.... What I have been able to find is: Fabricius (Caius Fabricius Luscinus) (fe™brÄsh`e™s fÃ¤brÄ"Ã¤`nÅ), d. 250 B.C., Roman general and statesman, distinguished for simplicity of habit and probity in public life. He persuaded the Tarentines to abstain from war with Rome and, as consul (282 B.C.), defeated the Boii and the Etruscans. While negotiating with Pyrrhus C.318 -- 272 B.C. Molossian King of Epirus. He fought at Ipsus in Asia minor in the service of Demetrius Poliorcetes ( later Demetrius I ) of Macedon, and by the aid of Ptolemy I he became ( 297 B.C. ) joint King of Epirus with Neoptolemus. For the ransom of prisoners captured at Heraclea (281) he rejected a bribe. When consul again (278), he negotiated terms of peace with Pyrrhus and subsequently defeated the Samnites, Lucani, and Bruttii. It is a commemorative ( unknown mint ) with a very good possibility from the mid 18th - 19th century. Report this Post to the Staff
