<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1996537, member: 19463&quot;]The Fredericksburg show also brought two Republicans that I did not have previously and a Julia Domna that struck me as odd (who will tell me why? - please Martin, tell me what you see or not see here).&nbsp; The Republicans are mid grade and decent by my standards.&nbsp; The Domna is damaged but has a good portrait and fit my collection as well as anyone&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ceres is not the most common reverse but, perhaps, the damage should have kept me from wanting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Lucillius has PV for public silver and a wreath around the obverse keeping it from being just another chariot type. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]357169[/ATTACH]</p><p>A puteal is a well head.&nbsp; This one is decorated with greenery and lyres.&nbsp; There are two variations.&nbsp; Mine has a hammer; others have tongs.&nbsp; Why? Wikipedia suggests thae place was struck by Vulcan&#039;s lightning but why did they use two tools on different coins?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]357170[/ATTACH]</p><p>Why?&nbsp; I know that is not a good reason but I&#039;m addicted.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]357171[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
