<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2841388, member: 74282&quot;]<b>$1</b>, eBay seller nile-ancient-coins, February 2015. A buddy of mine sells coins at shows and on eBay occasionally. This interesting type struck under a Roman quaestor in Macedon after the Third Macedonian War had apparently been in his trays for a bit and was time to go. I thought it was a crime that it had no bids so I placed the opening bid on it and won it at that price. He still says it&#039;s the best deal he&#039;s ever given anyone.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]672316[/ATTACH]</p><p>Macedon, Roman Rule, Æ22(10.65g). Gaius Publilius, Quaestor, 168-167 BC. Head of Roma right, wearing winged helmet terminating at the top in the head of a griffin. Border of dots / ΓΑΙΟΥ ΤΑΜΙΟΥ ΠΟΠΛΙΛΙΟΥ in two lines within a wreath of oak-leaves. Above, monogram. Line border.

This isn&#039;t a great coin but it was a nice introduction to an interesting facet of Republican numismatics that I was very interested in but didn&#039;t know enough about to feel confident spending big bucks on. I was already paying shipping for another much nicer(and more expensive) RR bronze so I tacked this guy onto the order.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]672317[/ATTACH]</p><p>Sicily, uncertain Roman mint, Æ as(21mm, 5.37g).
