3 New Roman Republics

Here are 3 Roman Republics I acquired pretty long ago actually & just finding the time now to share.

Obverse is a die match to the example illustrated in RSC.

Procilia 1


Q. Thermus M.f. (103 B.C.)

Nice coins @Mat I especially like the Thermus.

 

KILLER RR's @Mat ! Nice finds! Like 'em ALL!

I really like that M. Servilius Pulex Geminus... great reverse.

The "R" Bankers Mark is very cool on the Procilius.

I only have the Thermus:


Roman Republican.
Q. Minicuis Thermus M.F.
103 BCE.
Head of Mars left/
two warriors fighting, the left one protects a fallen comrade. Q THERM MF
Crawford 319/1. Sear 197
Ex: @Valentinian

 

I recently posted my L. Procilius/Juno Sospita denarius in the thread about snake coins, so I'll just post my Q. Thermus here:

Roman Republic, Q. Thermus M.f., AR Denarius 103 BCE. Obv. Head of Mars left with crested, plumed helmet/ Rev. Roman soldier advancing right, fighting with uplifted sword a barbarian soldier before him, while protecting with shield a fallen comrade at his feet, Q THERM.MF. in exergue (THE and MF in monograms). RSC I Minucia [Q. Minucius Rufus] 19 (ill.), Crawford 319/1, Sear RCV I 198 (ill.), BMCRR Italy 653. 19.4 mm., 3.97 g.

 

All neat coins! The Thermus denarius is one of those types I plan to get someday

 

Agreed, the Thermus' are cool! But, I figgerred you would like the Geminus also, due to the Horseman spearing the other... making him a fallen horseman!
