<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4391653, member: 110350&quot;]So, here is my (admittedly small, but my funds aren&#039;t unlimited!) collection of 18 Roman Republican denarii all together in their tray, in chronological order. You can see them all pretty well if you click on the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105063[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the 18, 13 qualify for the theme of this thread: a pig, a bull, a Pegasus, a goat, a snake, a lion, a gryphon, a wolf, a dolphin, a hound, a wild boar with a hound, another snake, and a Cretan goat.&nbsp; Plus the last coin really qualifies too, because of the snakes on the side of Medusa&#039;s head on the obverse.&nbsp; Plus two with horses makes 16.&nbsp; The only ones without any animals at all are the Janus coin (with Roma crowning a trophy of Gallic arms on the reverse), and the Q. Thermus coin with soldiers fighting on the reverse and Mars on the obverse.&nbsp; They do both have non-humans, though!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not as if I plan to stop at 18 forever.&nbsp; There are plenty of other animals out there in the wild.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
