Nice RR @Mat ! Wow, I see you are absconding with a few Republics.

 

Nice @Mat. I looked at something similar not long ago, but the price was too high.

 

Crawford 335/3f. Ex Russo, ex Leu 17. Among my five favorite coins in my collection.

LOL. no, @Sulla80 , Roma is NOT seated on Shields.

Let's get this right: See the necks and heads? Yours are TURTLES!!!

BTW, GREAT DENARIUS!!!

 

I was about to explain to you the error of your post. Before doing so, I put the coin under a microscope!

 

Lol, nice!
