<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 8005384, member: 75937&quot;]I&#039;m just doing show and tell with this one, but with more show than tell. After all, there&#039;s no way I could add to what [USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER] has already written in <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-roman-denarius-from-the-newly-founded-colony-of-narbo.269339/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-roman-denarius-from-the-newly-founded-colony-of-narbo.269339/">this excellent article</a> about this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is ex- [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER] and I purchased it at a recent [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] sale. I like the little Gaulish warrior riding buck-naked into battle armed with a spear and a shield. I&#039;m not a general in the armed forces or anything, so I&#039;m no expert, but I don&#039;t recommend that as a form of military attire. Not without sunscreen, anyway!</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the serrate edge. Looks like the blade of a circular saw. It&#039;s got a cool carnyx, too!</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]auR-lJfzTeY[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1388759[/ATTACH]</p><blockquote><p><font size="3">L. Licinius Crassus and Cn.
