<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 2941273, member: 84744&quot;]I received my Secret Saturn gift yesterday, and it is a super-cool RR denarius!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]716245[/ATTACH] </p><p>L. Censorinus, P. Crepusius and C. Limetanus (82 BC). AR denarius, Rome. Diademed, draped, and veiled bust of Venus right / Venus in biga right. Crawford 360/1b.</p><p><br /></p><p>How awesome is that!!?!&nbsp; It&#039;s a beauty.&nbsp; I especially like the fact that it is Venus driving the biga on the reverse.&nbsp; Almost looks like she is doing it &quot;side-saddle.&quot;&nbsp; That is not depicted on many issues, and makes this special, even somewhat feminist (for Ancient Rome at least)!&nbsp; The horses are magnificent, and I also love the bust of Venus on the obverse.&nbsp; In addition, its year of issue was of great historical importance: Sulla finally defeated the Marians (most notably at the Battle of the Colline Gate) and took control of Rome and Italy.&nbsp; What a great coin!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much, [USER=44210]@ValiantKnight[/USER]!&nbsp; At least, I&#039;m pretty sure you were my Secret Saturn, since there were a number of modern Colombian coins and bills included in the package, &quot;related to [your] background.&quot;&nbsp; They are cool too and I will definitely keep them, all except for the 200 peso parrot which I&#039;ll give to my daughter as she loves birds.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
