<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 24717068, member: 99456&quot;]Great addition [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER], which raises the question, why is your coin often described as &quot;Rayed cornucopia&quot; instead of &quot;Cornucopia on thunderbolt&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], highlighted in <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-republicans-nos-64-65-t-cloelius-and-q-fabius-maximus.389700/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-republicans-nos-64-65-t-cloelius-and-q-fabius-maximus.389700/">her note on her RRs 64 &amp; 65</a>, there is an undeniable link between these coins.&nbsp; The open question: are these inspired by the denarius of Quintus Fabius Maximus, or does the denarius perhaps allude to victories gained by other Fabii: Q. Fabius Maximus Aemillianus over Viriathus in 144 BC, or Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus in 142 BC.
