<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2785877, member: 57495&quot;]I went the other route and got myself a portrait denarius.&nbsp; Then I got a Venus/Trophy type, and now it&#039;s going to be some time before I can bring myself to shell out for an elephant.&nbsp; Big mistake... they seem to be getting pricier all the time.&nbsp; Yours is a really fantastic example.&nbsp; I see you went with &quot;gallic carnyx&quot; description.&nbsp; Do I dare suggest we see a discussion here about carnyx vs serpent like we did for the T. Carisius Vulcan&#039;s cap vs reverse die punch <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? </p><p><br /></p><p>My portrait denarius is from the collection of the late scholar of Parthian coinage, David Sellwood.&nbsp; I like to think he acquired it as a representative example of the coins Caesar was striking in Rome in preparation for the massive campaign against the Parthians he was planning to launch just prior to his murder.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]645756[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
