[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3739695, member: 98035"]I have the most common... Republican M Furius denarius [ATTACH=full]1002981[/ATTACH] Lampsakos AR Diobol[ATTACH=full]1002982[/ATTACH] What fascinates me the most about the lampsakos pieces is that whoever that double headed goddess is - her identity has been lost to history!

And much less common, perhaps the last Janiform head ever to make it onto coinage...
