I was happy to win this coin from the Ken Dorney Auction and it arrived today. L Titurius LF Sabinus 18mm, 3.12 grams. I know there are more popular denarii from this moneyer but I found this interesting as well.
GREAT Denarius @Yankee42 ! For me, perfect circulation wear... lots of transactions and hands that it passed through... great stories! You have the Sabinus that I do NOT have! Yours is a Sear 253; Crawford 344/3 minted in 89 BCE I also have a couple from 89 BCE from Sabinus: RR Titurius Sabinus 89 BCE AR Den Tarpeia buried shields S 251 Cr 344/2a RR L TITURIUS LF SABINUS AR Denarius Rape of Sabines 89 BCE Sear 249 Craw 344/1a He enjoyed playing off his name by picturing a couple scenes from the story of the kidnapping of the Sabine Women very early in the history of the founding of Rome.
