<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2387142, member: 72818&quot;]At first glance, this appears to be just another Roma-Chariot denarius but it actually differs enough from what I already owned to accept a discounted offer from ACM. This is my first of this moneyer (and the date this coin was struck) with the barred X of value on the obverse. From about 136 BC, the denarius increased from 10 to 16 Asses, the barred X indicating this change in value---the XVI brand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Publius M seems to have been of &#039;Plebian&#039; origin and appears to have been appointed &#039;tribune of the people&#039; under the name of Macinii. The nickname of &#039;Antiaticus&#039; appears to commemorate an ancestor who was victorious over the Latin armies of the &#039;Antiates&#039; in 338 BC. Historically, this coin was struck a year after the murder of Tiberius Gracchus---- one of the best known members of the Gracchii family.</p><p><br /></p><p>AR denarius of Publius Maenius Antiaticus, Rome mint, 132 BC</p><p>Crawford 249/1; 19.5 mm, 3.96 grams</p><p>Roma wearing winged helmet, XVI value</p><p>P MAE ANT ROMA</p><p>Victory in a galloping quadriga right, holding wreath and reins</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any coin remotely related.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]489932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489933[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
