Once again, I find myself lusting after your coins. I don't have a half-quadrigatus drachm, but I want one!!:greedy:

Al, you have an impressive collection of quinarii!! Very nice! I am now hungry for more :hungry:
My thanks to JA for the map and to vespasian70 for the book reference! Both will enhance my ancient coin library:joyful:

Wow! That's a sweet coin too!
Thanks -- these are some of my favorites! But yours are fairly impressive as well:joyful: I just love Roman Republican bronze.
Oops! I forgot to mention the date of the ½ litra. It was minted around 230-225 BC, between the 1st and 2nd Punic Wars.
