<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2282157, member: 74282&quot;]Yup, that is a carnyx beside the trophy. There are actually two but the one on the left is usually off-flan if the coin is off center by very much at all. There are others with a carnyx as well, for instance this one, minted in 118 BC at the colony of Narbo itself. In my opinion this one has some of the best Gallic imagery of any Roman coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]456231[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Republic AR denarius(21mm, 3.7g). L. Licinius Crassus, Cn.
