[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 8047984, member: 89970"]Great write-up of one of my favorite areas of the early silver coinage. I think the Sicilian quadrigatus issue is one of the most interesting coins of the many quadrigatus types. As you suggest the coinage attributed to Sicily is of very fine and unique style. I don't understand this.. it seems you have the rarer wheat-ear quinarius issue in your 68/1a. What other similar issue is still missing from your collection? Here is a corn ear denarius issues attributed to Sicily: [ATTACH=full]1393282[/ATTACH] [B]Denomination[/B]: Denarius [B]Metal[/B]: AR [B]Obverse[/B]: Helmeted head of Roma r.; X behind.
