<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4791041, member: 19463&quot;]Tsk, tsk!&nbsp; Posting your joke without a smiley face might fool the beginners among us but why do we want to confuse them?&nbsp;&nbsp; I am&nbsp; a strong fan of the busy version with the REX ARITAS explaining the coin&#039;s unique place in history as a type honoring the accomplishment of the moneyer rather than his ancestor.&nbsp; When the coin was issued it must have raised eyebrows as terribly inappropriate.&nbsp; The old rules of the Republic were changing fast.&nbsp; Things might have slowed a bit had Brutus decided that Scaurus was a danger to the Republic.&nbsp; This inappropriate coin was issued about the time Brutus was adopted and had not yet set on his place in history.&nbsp; Lucky for Scaurus![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
