<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 3515249, member: 99456&quot;][USER=99716]@Jochen[/USER], thank you for another excellent post, with interesting coins and artifacts,&nbsp; a very enjoyable read at the end of the day.&nbsp; I will share this RR denarius:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]933083[/ATTACH] <b>Gaius Poblicius </b>Q.f. AR denarius, 79 BC</p><p><b>Obv:</b> Draped bust of Roma right, ROMA behind, wearing Phrygian helmet ornamented with plumes on sides; above, F.</p><p><b>Rev:</b> C POBLICI Q F, Hercules standing left, strangling the Nemean lion; between his feet, a club; in left field (F), (bow and) quiver</p><p><b>Size:</b> 19mm, 3.49g</p><p><b>Ref:</b> Poblicia 9</p><p><br /></p><p>The Phrygian helmet a reference to Rome&#039;s Trojan heritage.&nbsp; The reverse showing Hercules strangling the Nemean lion may allude to the moneyer&#039;s family origins and the temple to Hercules at Cora and even further back to Argos and the valley of Nemea where Hercules killed the lion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
