[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8054735, member: 115909"]Congrats! You’re the first person I’ve seen post a Quadrigatus. I also recently picked one up because I love the history of them and they are a good size with a cool design from the Roman Republic. I know I’ve shared it before on the forum but with this particular thread about a Quadrigatus I can’t help myself from sharing again. :D [ATTACH=full]1395324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1395325[/ATTACH] [B]Anonymous. Ca. 225-214/2 BC. AR didrachm or quadrigatus (23mm, 6.64 gm, 7h). NGC AU 5/5 - 3/5, overstruck.[/B] Uncertain mint. Laureate head of youthful Janus, two small annulets on top of head / Jupiter, hurling thunderbolt with right hand, scepter in left, in fast quadriga right driven by Victory; ROMA incuse on raised tablet below. Crawford 29/3. Sydenham 64. I love that the silver is silver paid by Carthage after the First Punic War. There is so much history to the coin.[/QUOTE]
