I saw this coin a while ago. I never saw a Roman Republic coin like this one. Does anyone know who this is? is this from Pompeii?
L Pomponius Molo ca. 97 BC laureate head of Apollo right / Numa Pompilius standing right, holding lituus, before altar, about to sacrifice goat standing left before him, held by youth seated left, NVMA POMP in exergue.
Same exact coin in the OP for sale right now on ebay- funny that? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Roman-Repub...h=item3d7d679476:g:UTgAAOSwjrFcHCLM:rk:3:pf:0 for sale for $99. same photo etc...
Could have sworn you just said you got it for free- @Alegandron - Is it the late hour- are words chngin right before our eyes? The OP originally said, "Got this coin for free a while ago" ... whatever- life is a challenge- have a great holiday you all! I guess my being an old timer- am a little bit of a stickler for some authenticity- like not making stuff up- like fake stuff....
Funny thing, if you read the SELLER’s description, it is purdy much what @Ajax helped out with. Seems a funny way to illicit info from the Forum... Yup, it was stated that he got it free... then changed the posting cuz you called him out. @Ryro @PlanoSteve , and I called this stuff out some time ago, and we got a full page riot-act tirade written up by the poster. Hmmm... BTW, did you see this coin on ebay?
