Cool coin @ominus1 ! A Roma obverse republican denarius was on my list for the year, and it just didn't pan out for me. That cool little dog on there is neat also!

 

..thanks @chrsmat71 ..this is actually my 1st on all 3 fronts...(Roma, dog and twins)

 

That is a cool coin, ominus1

That's my kind of RR denarius - I really like the banker's marks. They enhance a coin, I think.

 

..thanks John & Mike...it's a lil worn, but that's how i gauge authenticity...(on mine anyway)..Merry Christmas to you fellas...

 

A good example!

 

I love the design of the Roma Republic Denari. I don't have one but perhaps I can find one in my price range in 2020.
Your coin is a great example. I really like the banker's marks. Thanks for sharing!
