[QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2281830, member: 74300"]2 coins 1st one [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/2qkp2ja.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/13zts29.jpg[/IMG] I read somewhere (probably forvm) that this was made to celebrate marius' parade after his victory in teutones, and that no other quadriga had the little kid sitting on a horse. Was that just some wild theory? Was the moneyer associated with this event? His name is C.Fundanius. 2nd one is this, there are places saying it was struck the year marius won military tribune, 119BC. Is there really written record this coin was made that year? I'm sure this was not directly associated with that event. I'd like to know what the reverse picture meant though.
