<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DUPONDII, post: 2757344, member: 87479&quot;]This currency tells a story:</p><p>ROMAN REPUBLIC - Denier People FURIA</p><p>Rome 119 BC. AD</p><p>A / M FOVRI L F - Marci Fourii Lucii Filii</p><p>R / ROMA PHILI - (PHI in monogram outside fields).</p><p>Weight: 3.82 g. Diameter 20 mm</p><p>The reverse of this denier is particularly interesting: it commemorates the Roman victory of Bituit on the Arvernes who controlled the south-east of the sapling. The annexation of this region led the Romans to found the Provincia (Provence) of which Narbo (Narbonne), the capital, was founded in 118 BC. The Victoire, standing on the left, holds a long transversal scepter and crowns a Gallic trophy. At the foot of the trophy, two carnyx (Gaulish trumpets) and two Gaulish shields.</p><p><img src="http://i67.tinypic.com/eqoxu1.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
