Message:: [QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2431038, member: 74282"]A couple of bronzes struck under Gaius Poplilius and Lucius Fulcinnius, quaestors under consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus after the Roman domination of Macedon during the third Macedonian War. Paullus was later awarded the title Macedonicus for his decisive tail-kicking in Macedon. [ATTACH=full]505136[/ATTACH] Macedon, Roman Rule, Æ22(10.65g). Gaius Publilius, Quaestor, 168-167 BC. Head of Roma right, wearing winged helmet terminating at the top in the head of a griffin. Border of dots / ΓΑΙΟΥ ΤΑΜΙΟΥ ΠΟΠΛΙΛΙΟΥ in two lines within a wreath of oak-leaves. Above, monogram. Line border. MacKay, "Bronze Coinage In Macedonia, 168-166 BC," ANSMN 14 (1968), pp. 5, pl.III, 2; SNG Copenhagen 1320. [ATTACH=full]505137[/ATTACH] Macedon, Roman Rule, Æ21(9.17g). Lucius Fulcinius, Quaestor, 167 BC. Head of Roma right, wearing winged helmet terminating at the top in the head of a griffin. Border of dots / ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ΤΑΜΙΟΥ ΛΕΥΚΙΟΥ ΦΟΛΚΙΝΝΙΟΥ in three lines within a wreath of oak-leaves. Above, monogram. Line border. MacKay, "Bronze Coinage In Macedonia, 168-166 BC," ANSMN 14 (1968), pp. 6-7, pl.III, 7; BMC Macedonia 80. These are still the only two in my "Roman Republic Provincial" category in my collection but I'm on the hunt for one an example of the Silenus type, but waiting for one similar to TIF's before I pull the trigger, so I'll probably be waiting a while.[/QUOTE]
