<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2183891, member: 57495&quot;]There are two groups of these Moneta/runner type issued by L. Plaetorius (Cestianus) - with control symbol and without - but both groups were likely issued in the same year.&nbsp; You may find different references or sites indicating different years (74BC, 71BC and 67BC) resulting from the fact that this moneyer&#039;s year in office is uncertain.&nbsp; The most commonly used one I&#039;ve seen is 74BC, which is what is given in Michael Crawford&#039;s <i>Roman Republican Coinage</i>, a primary reference for RR coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Using Crawford as a reference, your coin is either 396/1a (no control symbol) or 396/1b (control symbol below).&nbsp; From your pictures I can&#039;t see if we can tell if there&#039;s a control symbol or not, or what the control symbol may be if there is one, but even if the coin was not so worn I suspect that the detail may be off the flan... quite a number of these RRs were struck on rather compact flans or off-center and missing devices is a typical problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
