Beautiful denarii @Volodya !!! I LOVE that elephant!!!! GIMME GIMME!!!!

 

Fantastic OP-addition (congrats on that very cool addition)

Ummm, I may not have your "Q Caecillus Metellus" ...

... but I do have an

"M. Caecilius Q.f. Q.n. Metellus"
82-80 BC



... close enough?

 

I have 2 denarii of Scipio.

sorry for the fuzzy scan

 

I'm Scipio-less (to use the term coined above) but do have a Memmius as shown by Volodya. I am weak on the details of which partisan belonged to which faction and, worse, which person with the name is the famous one and which is just a nephew. I need to study up on Roman oligarchs but never found the Republic as interesting as the Empire when rulers were more up front about thinking they were better than everyone else. I never felt the need to admire the people on coins I collected before so it should not bother me now. I do like many of the Republican types - especially those without xRigas.
