[QUOTE="willkerrs, post: 3083796, member: 95456"]Possibly my favourite Denarius: L. Lucretius Trio AR Denarius, 74 BC. (Crawford 390/1; RSC Lucretia 2) Obverse: Radiate head of Sol. Reverse: Crescent moon surrounded by seven stars (these seven stars were known as the constellation Triones, chosen as a pun on the moneyer's name!), TRIO above, L•LVCRETI below. My one is 3.89g, 19mm, 5h. Note also the golden highlights, especially on the reverse, which I've tried to show. Also, both sides, especially the obverse, show signs of what I think are the beginnings of a cabinet patina. [ATTACH=full]776975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776977[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
