<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 24716861, member: 99456&quot;]There is always a story in a RR denarius...from this one (Crawford <a href="http://numismatics.org/crro/id/rrc-265.1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/crro/id/rrc-265.1" rel="nofollow">RRC 265/1</a>) emerges a thoughtful general from the second Punic War who became known as &quot;The Delayer&quot;, a disastrous battle for Rome, a coin type restored by Sulla at the end of his dictatorship, George Washington&#039;s battle plan during the American Revolution, and a class on modern warfare strategy?&nbsp; Here are the two RR denarii and multiple people named Q. Fabius Maximus.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1580504[/ATTACH]</p><p>Q Fabius Maximus - a statue from Vienna - photo shared under CC by SA 4.0 license via <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Annibale_a_Canne.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Annibale_a_Canne.jpg" rel="nofollow">Wikimedia Commons</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The top coin issued in 127 BC the bottom one &quot;restored&quot; by Sulla in 82-80 BC.
