[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2854274, member: 84744"]I would suggest a coin issued exactly in 63 BC, because that was the year of Cicero's consulship, when he saved the state (according to him, at least!) from the Catiline conspiracy. One coin that fits the bill and [URL='https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=329301']is in the right price range[/URL] is this issue of Brocchus: [IMG]https://cngcoins.com/photos/big/3900437.jpg[/IMG] I think the curule chair on the reverse also makes it a good fit for the historical link you want. (I've convinced myself, at least - that coin is now on my list. Thanks for the idea!)[/QUOTE]
