PAPIUS; GENS PAPIA</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat skin, pump behind head</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; Griffin prancing right, pail with cup attached below, L. PAPI in exergue (Trade Guild:&nbsp; Farmers and shepherds)</p><p>Struck at Rome 79 BC</p><p>3.23g, 19mm</p><p>SNG BMC 1190[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
