<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2454750, member: 4298&quot;]Hi friends,</p><p>It&#039;s late sunday here, and prior I go to bed and start a new busy week I would like to share my second acquisition from the E.E. Clain-Stefanelli collection (after the M. Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus denarius you&#039;ve already seen) : a <b>L. Flaminius Chilo</b> denarius</p><p><br /></p><p>Not the L. Flaminius Chilo who struck coins in his name showing Ceasar&#039;s portrait, unfortunately, but the one minted a few decades earlier, a nice denarius on which I jumped during the live bidding because no one had bid on it and it was at its starting price. I find the biga, espacially the heads of the two horses, very lifelike, and love the overall look of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0010-055.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> L. Flaminius Chilo, Denarius </b> Rome mint, 109 or 108 BC</p><p>Helmeted head of Roma right, ROMA behind head and X below chin</p><p>L·FLAMINI/CILO in two lines at exergue.
