kool coin & info, i'm still after a Q titius coin. very nice coins Bing, i esp like the one with the aqueduct.
Numa Pompilius and Ancus Marcius on a denarius of C. Censorius, 88 BC. These come with quite a variety of minor symbols under the horses but, as luck would have it, they also come with boring numbers and letters. The high relief jugate portraits resulted in too little metal to fill the reverse die properly so my horses are flat.
Nice examples @PMONNEY , and cool posts everyone else! I think I need to focus on the Kings of Rome... I only have Sabinus: RR Titurius Sabinus 89 BCE AR Den Tarpeia buried shields S 251 Cr 344-2a RR Titurius Sabinus 89 BCE AR Den Tatius Sabine rape S 249 Cr 344-1a
