<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7831838, member: 75482&quot;]Here is a coin issued by the Roman Senate in the 13th century. It is inscribed +ROMA CAPITA MVNDI // +SENATVS P Q R.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sticklers might argue that this coin does not represent the same body that ruled the Roman Republic but I suspect the 13th century senators who issued it would passionately disagree.</p><p><br /></p><p>[Edit] According to Wikipedia, the (original) Roman Senate is last attested historically in 603 as [USER=98035]@Finn235[/USER] notes, when it acclaimed statues of Phocas and Leontia. The Curia Julia, where the Senate met, was converted into a church in 630. The revived Senate seems to date from the 12th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345951[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
