<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 823244, member: 19463&quot;]A couple points that may be of interest:&nbsp; It is a bit unusual for the quadriga to have two riders.&nbsp; This one is cataloged as Mars and Nerio (not someone you see on coins with regularity and I have no idea where the catalogs got that ID).&nbsp; The X on the obverse shows the denarius had a value of 10 asses however the coin dates to 138 BC which is slightly after the retariff to 16 asses.&nbsp; Shortly after this time we start seeing the X replaced with a ligate XVI which looks like a star.&nbsp; Condition purists will mark it down as harshly cleaned with corrosion damage but it is still not a bad coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
