[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4394379, member: 100731"]The moment this denarius popped up, I was hooked. The combination of an interesting reverse, high grade (you can even see the individual armor parts of the soldier right) and a provenance makes this coin by far my most interesting Roman Republic (that said, I've got only three or so).
