<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4983210, member: 110350&quot;]What a great set of Republican coins!&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever bought a Roman Republican coin specifically for the obverse (except for the Plautius Plancus with Medusa on the obverse), but in the course of collecting I&#039;ve managed to acquire half of the Roman Olympians pretty much by accident -- Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Mars, Apollo, and Diana, with multiple examples of most. Plus one (issued by C. Allius Bala) that might be Venus but probably is just another Diana. Perhaps I&#039;ll start paying more attention to the obverses in the future, because I wouldn&#039;t mind having some of the others.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I really love your example of the C. Mamilius Limetanus, not so much for Mercury (although I like his hat!), but for Ulysses and his dog on the reverse. I&#039;ve wanted one of those for quite a while, but it seems that on at least half of them, the dog is either entirely or partially missing. Which kind of defeats the purpose![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
