<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7831805, member: 110350&quot;][USER=17304]@kazuma78[/USER], a beautiful example and a fantastic photo! This type happens to be one of my own favorite Roman Republican coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic, L Lucretius Trio, AR Denarius, 76 BCE. Obv. Laureate head of Neptune right, XXXIII above and trident behind/ Rev. Cupid (or Infant Genius) on dolphin right; L LVCRETIVS TRIO. Crawford 390/2, Sydenham 784, RSC I Lucretia 3, Sear RCV I 322 (ill.), Harlan, RRM I Ch. 16 at pp. 98-103, BMCRR Rome 3247. 19 mm., 3.9 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345929[/ATTACH]</p><p>I particularly like the contrast between the visible grin on the boy&#039;s face and the visible scowl on the very disgruntled dolphin&#039;s face. Personally, I think the boy is Cupid; I&#039;m not sure what&#039;s with the compulsion of some numismatists to label similar figures as &quot;Infant Geniuses.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
