It is one of the most sought after provenances for ancient coins.</p><p>- the bronzes in this tray are all exceptional but am most happy about the L.POMP MOLO set (NB the triens fourth row end is a Mallet series and belongs with the quadrans in fifth row mid)</p><p>- RRC 335/10 with horses of the Dioscuri drinking at the fountain of Juturna is ex Santamaria Brunacci coll. (24 Feb.1958)</p><p>- RRC 338 Lex Papiria de Assis Pondere quadrans is a rare example of this series to be fully struck up with clear letters L.P.D.A.P.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015637[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1015639[/ATTACH]</p><p>Details of the coin types and their provenances are listed below the Flickr image here:</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/48966866688/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/48966866688/" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/48966866688/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
