[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4058299, member: 96898"]This is a fantastic selection of Republican denarii! Especially the Hosidius with the boar reverse is stunning. Thanks for showing them. Though mine are not as nice as yours, I also like animals on Roman Republican coins, and I can add two goats, a she-wolf (with a bird detail), a pair of oxen, a stork, and an elephant.
