[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1936612, member: 54140"]I took home two new denarii in recent weeks one Republican and a Septimius Severus. I have want a coin with a Pegasus for awhile and I saw the opportunity for one in the most recent Frank S Robinson sale. To be honest I think I stole this one a little bit. Q. Titius, 90 B.C.E.
