<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 6695163, member: 86498&quot;]CN. Lentulius Clodianus Ar Quinarius or Victoriatus??? Rome 88 BC Obv Head of Jupiter right laureate. Rv Victory standing right crowning trophy Crawford 345/2&nbsp; 1.79 grms 15 mm Ex Andrew McCabe collection Photo by W. Hansen [ATTACH=full]1270294[/ATTACH]One can see with this coin that there could be some confusion between this coin and the victoriatus minted about 120 year previously. However one would have thought that the difference in weight would have been significant enough to distinguish the two coins. However there is another possibility. The name may have nothing to do with a supposed&nbsp; memory of the older coin but what was on this one which is of course victory.&nbsp; Thus they knew it was a quinarius but called it a victoriatus[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
