RR denarius

I had the local shop keep this in the safe for me until I could get paid A typical Roma/quadriga denarius, but I like it.



L. Appuleius Saturninus
AR denarius
Rome 104 B.C. Helmeted Roma head left bankers mark on check / Saturn in galloping quadriga right, pellet omega below, L.SATVRN in exergue. Cr. 317/3. ?

Also picked up these beauties for a couple bucks Fakes

 

Great republic. I like the bankers mark especially.

Im sure someone would think those fakes were real if it wasnt mentioned.

 

Thanks The denarius would probably be the most deceptive, the sestertii are a silverish pot metal. I think the Sev alexander was a jewelers peices

 

Sweet coin Randy, nice to know you pick some up at your lcs.

 

I love RR coins, and yours is no exception. Like Mat, I think the bankers mark is interesting and placed just right.

 

Sweet new pickup, randygeki (congrats on the new RR ... very cool)

... sadly, I don't have an example of L. Appuleius Saturninus (must buy more RRs)

 

Nice Roman Republic Randy! I keep telling myself I've got to get more of these. I like the style so much.

The quadriga reverse adds to its appeal imo. Well done!

 

I think the RR is a great example....I've been bidding and trying to buy a few examples myself...although I've now gotten myself obsessed with trying to get a nice J Caesar and Pompey example listed on Agora...So little time and so many coins LOL

 

The denarius is every bit as nice as the fakes are deplorable.

 

Nice
