<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8181027, member: 110350&quot;]I think I need to re-photograph a couple of them (denarii of Trajan and Hadrian) for which Roma&#039;s photos appear to be in black-and-white. But here are the other two, which appear to have at least a hint of color! The first one is accompanied by Roma&#039;s write-up (because I haven&#039;t had a chance to write my own yet), and the second has mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>L. Memmius AR Denarius. Rome, 109-108 BC.
