<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8329525, member: 110350&quot;]Not I, I&#039;m afraid: out of all my Roman Republican coins, I don&#039;t have a single one depicting the Dioscuri galloping together in the same direction, even though it seems that was the most common reverse type on Republican denarii for their first 60+ years. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one showing them riding in opposite directions (the C. Servilius posted above), and you&#039;ve reminded me that I also have one showing them off their horses altogether, namely L. Memmius, AR Denarius 109-108 BCE, Crawford 304/1:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/memmius-denarius-apollo-diocsuri-with-horses-roma-1-6-21-jpg.1436003/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I should be getting two more Roman Republican coins with horses in the mail one of these days, one of them purchased at a Cayon Subastas auction in late February(!) and finally sent to me two weeks ago, and the other purchased at the Roma Numismatics auction this morning. The way things are going, it wouldn&#039;t surprise me if I get the one I bought today first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
