<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2578869, member: 72818&quot;]Although I have several &#039;Roma&#039; denarii of the Republic, I tend to go after those with differing devices, particularly the reverse, if not the obverse as well. In this case, instead of the chariot reverse by different moneyers over time, I have Roma seated instead----Roma times two!! While sellers describe the reverse as Roma looking protectively after the suckling twins, I see her pondering what the future will hold for the twins and the world. In fact, I&#039;m reminded of the famous Rodin sculpture &#039;The Thinker&#039; and can&#039;t help but think this coin inspired him. The artistry appears to be of a high level and I&#039;d LOVE to see examples of a higher grade that any of the gang may have. My last purchase of 2016:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]559422[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anonymous AR Denarius. Rome, 115-114 BC.
