<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2314626, member: 74282&quot;]I really need to pick up a Spanish denarius from the period of this conflict. I do have a coin related to the Sertorian War however, this one was a special issue minted somewhere in Spain(possibly a mint moving with Pompey&#039;s troops) under the quaestor Cn. Cornelius Lentulus to pay the troops of the war. Pompey actually spent quite a bit of money financing it on his own before going to the Roman Senate to ask for them for the money that became this special denarius issue:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]466879[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman republic, AR Denarius(3.4g) Cn.
