<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 5140851, member: 99456&quot;]Glad your coin eventually arrived, [USER=112342]@JayAg47[/USER], there is something about this coin that I clearly like: favorite portrait on the left, favorite reverse in the middle, favorite that isn&#039;t the other two on the right. And favorite &quot;Grand Tour&quot; souvenir&nbsp; echoing this coin below:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1206176[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>L. Aemilius Lepidus Paullus</b>, 62 BC, AR Denarius, Rome mint</p><p><b>Obv:</b> Veiled and diademed head of Concordia right</p><p><b>Rev:</b> Trophy; to left, three captives (King Perseus of Macedon and his two sons) standing right; to right, Paullus standing left</p><p><b>Ref: </b>Crawford 415/1; Sydenham 926; Aemilia 10</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1206177[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;This Italian &quot;medalet&quot;, 20mm, 11h, 3.7g, by an unknown artist is from the 18th to early 19th century, apparently issued for the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/name-that-roman.337948/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/name-that-roman.337948/">Grand Tour trade</a>. Although it reads &quot;P. LEPIDVS&quot; on the obverse, the portrait looks a lot like Mark Antony. More on this &quot;medalet&quot; from the RBW collection in my <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-fantasy-coin-from-the-rbw-collection.360128/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-fantasy-coin-from-the-rbw-collection.360128/">earlier CT post</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
