    Happy to finally have this denarius with Apollo-Veoivis and a goat, and at a very reasonable price:). A common coin that was somehow eluding me.
    There is a fantastic write-up about Apollo - Veiovis by @Jochen1 at https://www.cointalk.com/posts/3876394/ where everything is already said, so I just share the coin - the reverse is off center and quite worn at left, but I do like very much the Apollo-Veiovis on the obverse.

    Rome 85 BC
    3.58 g
    RRC 353/1a; Sydenham 724; RBW 1350; RSC (Babelon) Fonteia 9; BMC RR I, p. 322, 2476; Sear 271
    Ob.: M͡N·FON͡TEI·C•F Laureate head of Vejovis (Apollo), to r.; below, thunderbolt. Roma monogram PA͡M below chin. Border of dots.
    Rev.: Cupid or infant winged Genius riding goat to right; above, two pilei surmounted by stars; below, filleted thyrsus of Liber (Bacchus) ; all within laurel wreath. Border of dots. Anepigraphic.

    My four denarii depicting a goat, more specifically Juno wearing a dead goat as a hat:
