<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 5423287, member: 86498"]Marc Antony Legionary Denarius Legion II 32-31 BC Obv Galley facing right Rv. Legionary eagle flanked by two standards. Crawford 544/15 CRI 350 3.75 grms 18 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1235380[/ATTACH] Once more these coins stayed in circulation seeming forever. Many years ago I bought a small hoard of Roman denarii and antoninianii from a friend. This group was part of a much larger assemblage and ended with Gordian III. As I remember the group I can say that even the Gordian III coins showed some slight evidence of being worn so that the hoard may have been deposited even later. The oldest coin in the hoard was a denarius of Marc Antony of the legionary type. It was too badly worn to be identified as belonging to a specific legion. But it does offer testament to the longevity of this coin remaining in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
