<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Topcat7, post: 2823556, member: 73372&quot;]I have two (similar) coins - one that I believe that I have attributed correctly, and the other that I am having difficulty with.</p><p>The first is a :-</p><p><b>Mn. Aemilius Lepidus Denarius </b>from 114 or 113 BC.</p><p>The obverse shows &#039;Roma&#039; with a laurel wreath, draped and wearing diadem. Roma before, and value behind. </p><p>On the reverse we have three arches containing the letters &#039;L&#039; &#039;E&#039; &#039;P&#039; (Lepidus?). On the arches we have a statue of a soldier on horse-back with spear. The legend appears to be MN (dot) AE (MI) L I O.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]663639[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>The second (unattributed) coin shows :-</p><p>On the obverse &#039;Roma&#039; (?) facing (R) wearing a &#039;winged helmet&#039;.</p><p>On the reverse we seem to have the same detail as on the Mn. Aemilius Lepidus coin, including the &#039;L&#039; &#039;E&#039; &#039;P&#039; (Lepidus?) in the arches.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]663655[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have searched a number of databases but I have not been able to come up with a coin of Mn. Aemilius Lepidus that shows &#039;Roma&#039; wearing a winged helmet.</p><p>Does this mean that &#039;Roma&#039; is someone else ?</p><p>Notwithstanding the (similar) reverse, does this mean that the (second) coin is not Mn. Aemilius Lepidus ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone help me to attribute this second coin, please?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
