<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7967603, member: 110350&quot;]There are more than 60 different control-symbols for this type listed in Crawford Vol. I, Table XXXV at pp. 401-402. I love the owl.</p><p>.</p><p>The snake biga of M. Volteius is one of my favorite types, and is near or at&nbsp; the top of my want-list for Roman Republican coins. You were very fortunate to find one with the reverse centered so well; it&#039;s wonderful!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve noticed that the prices for examples of these with Ceres, the biga, and the snakes all on the flan have been going up a great deal lately, so I don&#039;t know when or if I&#039;ll find one.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s another Republican denarius with a reverse depicting Ceres in a biga of snakes, issued by C. Vibius C.f. C.n. Pansa in 48 BCE (Crawford 449/3a). But I almost <u>never</u> see it up for sale or auction, in any condition. Does anyone here have one?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
