<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2991401, member: 8959&quot;]This is the only Republican denarius in my collection. I bought it&nbsp; years ago at a show in Massachusetts. It is also also the only Roman coin I have ever bought at a show in the U.S.</p><p>It depicts Apollo on the obverse and Jupiter driving a quadriga on reverse. I really liked the detail on the quadriga.</p><p><br /></p><p>By comparison with similar examples on acsearch, I see there ought to be a thunderbolt beneath Apollos&#039;s head. This one shows no trace of such, but I suspect it is due to the slight off-center strike?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please show your Apollo&#039;s !</p><p><br /></p><p><b>C. Gargonius, M. Vergilius, Ogulnius</b>, Denarius, Rome, 86 BC AR</p><p>Obv: Head of Apollo r., wearing oak-wreath below, (thunderbolt?)</p><p>Rev: Jupiter in quadriga r., holding reins and thunderbolt.</p><p>Crawford 350A/2 Sydenham 723</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]738091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738092[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
