[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 7568915, member: 91461"]Wonderful coin:artist::woot: BIG COINGRATS!!! I'd not heard of the Catanaean Brothers being what's represented on the coin. Aeneas is the narrative I believe fits the coin, but can't wait for part 2! My first Roman coin was a gift from my dad and is a fouree with this reverse: [ATTACH=full]1305146[/ATTACH] Julius Caesar Denarius fouree, Africa, 47-46 BCE. AR 2.8 g. 18mm, Diademed head of Venus r. Rev. CAESAR Aeneas running l., carrying his father Anchises on his l. shoulder, holding palladium on his outstretched r. hand.
