I bought it retail off Bourgey where presumably it had lain untouched in their trays for more than 100 years</p><p>- RRC 210 Caius Junius denarius comes from a 1971 Stack&#039;s sale; along with quite a few coins in my collection it comes from the so-called Southern California or S.C. collection that was assembled (based on provenances) between the mid 1960s and late 1970s</p><p>- RRC 213 mast and sale (no associated silver) and RRC 209 Lucius Itius (no associated bronzes): It has been suggested by Mark Passehl that these might belong together, the mast and sail forming a sort of monogram of L.Itius as well as being what it looks like. Bright idea and knowing the ancient Romans probably right too.</p><p>- RRC 205/4 Publius Sulla triens has a provenance dating back to Cohen in 1857 and then to Babelon&#039;s book.
