[URL]https://www.sullacoins.com/post/an-unusual-lucius-appuleius-saturninus[/URL] [ATTACH=full]1686321[/ATTACH] In the history of the Roman Republic, this coin sits just after the end of of the Jugurthine War where Sulla made a name for himself. Jugurtha was captured in 105; Marius triumphed and Jugurtha’s execution followed early in 104, the year of this coin’s issue. See my latest post - there are very few coins that have two heads (only 2 issues that I know of) in the Roman republican denarii - ignoring the ones with two heads on the same side of the coin.
