<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 8221685, member: 75525&quot;]Nice write-up and coin, as usual!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is interesting that Empire coins normally have Moneta (money) or Aequitas (justice) holding scales. The Roman Republic had Venus holding scales, on [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] &#039;s coin. Several RR issues have scales for die markers. The coins of C. Annius T.f. T.n. and L. Fabius L.f. all have scales not held by anyone (unless it is a necklace). My coin is unusual, it has two scales. I have seen several brockages of this issue.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1444124[/ATTACH] </p><p>The Roman Republic C. Annius T.f. T.n. and L. Fabius L.f. Hispaniensis.
