Fantastic John, great coins!

 

classe!!!!!!!!

 

Merry Christmas indeed!

 

Sweet score, Eng ... nice X-mas Eve addition ...

Ummm, did you buy any coins on Boxing-Day? (that's Canada's version of "Black Friday")

 

I love them 'Eng' !!! Is there a three horse version out there???

A few of mine:

 

Wow Mikey, awesome group, i don't know if there are three or five horse versions.

 

Did anyone say horses?

 

I recall someone here has a nicer three than mine. I am not aware of a five or higher.

The other variations to seek are animals other than horses. Someone has goats.

 

i Love the Triga(?) and Snakes....

.....glad to hear there isn't a five horse type or higher LOL. I will go broke trying to get a decent sampling (the three horse version etc) of what is out there as it is LOL

 

Naevius Balbus Triga


Pulcher Mancinus Triga



slight upgraded to my M Sergius Silus



Is there any type of animal pulling chariot other than horse deer goat snake and elephant?

 

Very nice. I can't show any as I'm using my phone. But even if I could, yours and all the others are nicer than mine.

 

Very cool X'mas Eve pickup, Eng. I wish I had done the same thing!

 

@brassnautilus Great Slus upgrade. I might need to upgrade mine from Fouree to Offical...

 

There are lions, too, and while not animals, there's a cool L. J. Caesar with a biga of cupids. My Q. Crepereius M. f. Rocus features a hippocamp biga which could be mistaken for a regular horse biga on a cursory glance.

 

All of these Republican non-horse bigas/quads are on my hit list. There are a couple of such coins in upcoming auctions and I'll probably bid (be warned )

 

Lovely coins!
