<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2935019, member: 19615&quot;]Best I can do is <i>three </i>heads. This is one of my very favorite coins from my now-dispersed collection of ancient imitations of Roman Republic denarii. It was found in Romania, in association with other coins definitely known to be Dacian, so this can be described with considerable confidence as Dacian as well. The imagery is really quite stunning; I&#039;ve never seen anything like it. One of the few coins I considered holding back from the auction; I miss it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my description in Gemini IX:</p><p>Obverse type of Mn. Fonteius, reverse type of L. Cassius Longinus. Denarius, 4.26g. (8h). . , After 78 BC. Obv: Janiform head. Rx: Head of Libera left, blundered, recognizable legend behind. Cf. Crawford 290/1 (obverse) and 386/1 (reverse). Davis A, II; website M123. Apulum XLIII, 111 (this coin). Ex Phillip Davis Collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://pro.coinarchives.com/3e3242874c1baebfe15f546e799ea100/img/gemini/009/image00684.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
