<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2487150, member: 74282"]The pentagram is one of the scarcer symbols and it is a pentagram but it wears quickly and looks like a star afterwards. You can see that there are some areas not filled in on your example as well as <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1102319" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1102319" rel="nofollow">the RBW example</a>. It's an interesting issue and one I hope to find one of these days as it was minted in Etruria and is linked to the massive "Staff and Club" issue(and an anonymous issue not in Crawford) that I've been studying and collecting photos and information about for a while. Crawford suggests that Marcellus minted the pentagram issue and then passed his treasury on to Piso who took over his command in Etruria and minted the latter issue. The link is confirmed by a common die used to mint coins of both series(a victoriatus reverse IIRC but I don't have my notes at ahand).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
