[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7898077, member: 111387"]Since 55 BC being mentioned as the year of the construction of Pompey's Theater, I suppose this coin minted in the same year might apply. Publius Licinius Crassus was the son of Marcus Licinius Crassus. Their ill-fated demise at Carrhae, in search of military glory, effectively ended the Triumvirate in 53 BC; helping set the stage for the eventual civil war between Pompey and Caesar. After the death of Caesar's daughter Julia in 54 BC, Pompey married Cornelia the widow of Publius the following year. She was Pompey's 5th and final wife. This coin is well worn, but with some interesting banker's marks. [ATTACH=full]1363968[/ATTACH] [B]P. Licinius Crassus M.f. [/B](55 BC). AR Denarius. (19mm, 3.38g). Rome mint. [B]O:[/B] Laureate, diademed, and draped bust of Venus right, wearing cruciform earring and necklace of pendants; S • C downwards to left. [B]R:[/B] P • CRASSVS M • F; Soldier standing facing, holding spear in left hand, and with right hand leading horse by bridle left; at his feet, trophy to left, shield to right around. I stayed in Rome next to the Campo de Fiori; which abuts the footprint of Pompey's theater. Excellent battered fried fish at Dar Filettaro, and tasty Rome-style pizza(by weight) at Forno Rosciolo. Mmmmmm!!! I'm reminiscing about a nice Cappuccino & Cornetto. :hungry::hungry::hungry: I must be hungry, thinking about food LOL.[/QUOTE]
