<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2609939, member: 75525&quot;]6.&nbsp; I look for coins to fit largest time window missing in collection, or a nice copy of a less common coin. This was not the longest window, but it a nice example of an uncommon coin and fits well in the collection.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]570804[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republican</p><p>L.ITI, Lucius Itius, 149 BC, Rome,</p><p>Obv – head of Roma R, wearing winged helmet &amp; ear ring in three pieces, X behind</p><p>Rev – The Dioscuri on horseback, charging R, below - L.ITI, In Ex – ROMA in tablet</p><p>The moneyer is either L.

I found several that are listed in Vecchi, ICC and some that are not. My favorite, and the one on my wish list is the Ax Head, ex A.
