<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 3046384, member: 91240&quot;]Got this in the mail last night, and having recently upgraded my photography capabilities (though not my skills), I thought I&#039;d share it. It typifies what I like about Republican denarii: detail heavy designs with lots of meaning and symbolism behind them. It&#039;s not a perfect specimen, but as always I tend to buy bargains. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m assuming the porosity is just normal corrosion for silver, but the edge does show a slight seam/line in certain areas. It is also <i>very</i> slightly light for the type. The details are all sharp, though, so I believe it is authentic? </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share your coins of this type, or any other Republican types with interesting or meaningful designs.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]761237[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Anonymous Denarius</b></p><p><b>Obverse</b>: Helmeted head of Roma right, wearing Corinthian helmet; below, ROMA; behind, X</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: Roma, wearing Corinthina helmet, seated right on a pile of shields, holding spear in l. hand; at feet, beside pile of shields, helmet; before, she-wolf and twins; on either sides, birds flying.</p><p><b>Struck at Rome in 115 or 114 BC; Crawford 287/1; 3.67g, 19mm</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]761236[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
