Ca. 225-214/2 BC. AR didrachm or quadrigatus (23mm, 6.64 gm, 7h). NGC AU 5/5 - 3/5, overstruck.</b> Uncertain mint. Laureate head of youthful Janus, two small annulets on top of head / Jupiter, hurling thunderbolt with right hand, scepter in left, in fast quadriga right driven by Victory; ROMA incuse on raised tablet below. Crawford 29/3. Sydenham 64.</p><p><br /></p><p>It says “youthful Janus” is on the obverse but according to some historians &amp; numismatists like Michael Crawford it’s actually Castor &amp; Pollux since Janus almost always has a beard.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1327528[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1327527[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve always loved the coins that have “ROMA” on them ^_^</p><p><br /></p><p>Glad to hear you’re feeling better <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
