I am trying to decide who the moneyer was that issued this coin? Assuming ROMA is what is below Prow, which is not all that certain to me, then I was concentrating on the above monogram, as I have noticed most moneyers used the top area for their inscriptions, I have attached a list of moneyers and their corresponding inscriptions for coins however this is just as I see, I am confident another set of eyes will have a better if not totally different view of the situation... Here as some links for some interesting ones I found: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/be...maianius_rome_153_bc__as/1281443/Default.aspx https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/lu...bc__as__janus__prow_cina/1266309/Default.aspx Please give me your best guesses and we will tally them up for a consensus...
Nice big AEs. I have the denarius - same guy, different metal: Roman Republic Denarius C. Maianius (153 B.C.) Rome Mint Helmeted head of Roma right, X behind / Victory in biga right, C MAIANI below, ROMA in exergue. Maiania 1; Crawford 203/1a; Sydenham 427. (3.71 grams / 18 mm)
Though it very hard for me to make out whats on my coin, that is a very nice one, and looks like a winner to me, thanks!!!
