[QUOTE="ancientcoinguru, post: 2256705, member: 75563"]Nemo, your quadrigatus-didrachm is absolutely outstanding! Cataloging it is a bit difficult, since it could either be Crawford 28/3 or 29/3. Crawford's [U]Roman Republican Coinage[/U] gives identical descriptions to these coins, with the following exception: 28/3: ROMA incuse on tablet or in relief in linear frame 29/3: ROMA incuse on tablet or in relief on tablet Since yours is incuse on tablet, it could be either! To make the matter even more confusing, the book has photos...just like your coin (with incuse on tablet)....some are Crawford 28/3 and some are 29/3. So I guess you get to choose! I offer my example as comparison; it is clearly Crawford 28/3, since ROMA is in relief in linear frame. [ATTACH=full]447355[/ATTACH] Regardless of the Crawford number, your coin is superb![/QUOTE]
