<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2914409, member: 75525&quot;]Great start to an interesting collecting area. </p><p>You might want to pick up a book that covers RR coins. I suggest Roman Coins and their Value by David Sear. You can buy a new one from his web site for about $100 (<a href="http://www.davidrsear.com/roman_coins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidrsear.com/roman_coins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidrsear.com/roman_coins.html</a> ) and he will autograph it, or you can buy the same book for half that on Amazon. Older versions sell for significantly less.</p><p>Your coin was issued by <b>M. Porcius Laeca</b>, in 125 BC and not <b>P. Porcius Laeca</b>, who issued his coins in 110 - 109 BC. Bing shows the &quot;P&quot; coin. I do not have one yet, but would like one with the PROVOCO legend. (Definition thanks to Agora - the principle of provocatio was a procedure by which a citizen had the right to appeal to the people against the decision of a magistrate which he considered to be an abuse of official power.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
