The Confederacy

I had to look-up the Social War ... (I guess I could have merely read your post, eh?)

=> hey, don't judge me

again, that's a pretty tight-window => congrats Alegandalf (that's a cool side-avenue collection)



sadly, I still don't have any sweeties to toss into your thread (but awesome coin-effort => great new coins x 2)

Thank you Sir! I was noticing all the little Collections within Collections folks were starting to post... I enjoy this little unknown but very important niche in Roman History... Pretty cool having some relatively Rare coins... But, me, I just love the non-mainstream eclectic "schtuff"! Kinda my style...

LOL, great pic!

 

LOL => sweet avatar (it looks good on ya, my cool coin-friend)

 

LOL, I like it...and you have dubbed me that on many occasions... It may stick...

Now, as I look at your Avatar through my Avatar... you trouble me...

 

Not comparable to Volodya's specimen, but a good compromise:

 

It may not be a Volodya-level example but it's an excellent specimen nonetheless and one many here would be proud to own.

By the way, welcome to the board @bartolus07. Hope to see more of your coins, especially if they're anything like this beauty

 

Wonderful Denarius @bartolus07 , and welcome to CT Ancients.

My pedestrian version (it has been around)


RR Veturius 137 BCE AR Den Mars X Oath Scene pig S 111 Cr 234-1

 

Thank you for your kind welcome message, @red_spork and @Alegandron. As it has already been said, this coin is quite common, but not easy to be found complete and centered.
Anyway, my example is not without some defects...

 

I have a few from the ROMAN side of the Marsic War (91-88 BCE)
