<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3506374, member: 74282&quot;]I don&#039;t have a cool sow victoriatus but I&#039;m always jealous of your&nbsp; Crawford 105/1 star/pentagram victoriatus, it&#039;s a bit nicer than my modest example(also they might share the same obverse die):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]929970[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And my related Crawford 106/1 Staff victoriatus. This type is l die-linked to the 105/1 victoriatus:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]929971[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, whereas Crawford placed both of these types in Etruria, modern finds suggest very strongly that they should actually be assigned to Spain. Most new staff/pentagram victoriati also seem to come from Spain, much like my incuse victoriatus shared above. They may also be related to the Corneli Scipiones as &quot;Scipio&quot; in Latin literally means staff or walking stick. Perhaps these are later issues from near the end of Scipio&#039;s war in Spain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
