<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7295654, member: 86498&quot;]This is the denarius version of that coin Trajan Ar Denarius 103 AD. Obv Head right laureate. Rv Statue of Hercules standing on low plinth facing. RIC 79 Woytek 164a This coin illustrated. 3.02 grms 18 mm Photo by W. Hansen [ATTACH=full]1276546[/ATTACH]I am impressed with the two gilded statues though I cannot say that either of them actually are the statue depicted on the coin. To me my denarius depicts Hercules wearing his traditional lion skin headdress. This feature can be seen on the aureus as well though it is less distinct. It is possible though unlikely that the first statue may have had it at one time and I am even less confident about the second.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
