<p>[QUOTE="Volodya, post: 2965833, member: 19615"]Here's one of mine. Hard to find with a complete and fully-struck wreath. Even this one could be a bit better around 7:00. I've no thoughts on the identity of the kid on the goat, but I really doubt Crawford's assertion that the monogram stands for Apollo. To my eye it <i>does </i>bear a reasonable resemblance to the Roma monogram on denarii of L. Piso Frvgi five years earlier, given that there's no reason to think the engraver is the same on the two issues. Until the engraver's working notes turn up I'll go with Roma.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]726896[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
