Post by: StumbledUpon on December 24, 2008, 09:02:01 AM Lovely coin Neil :) Its a roman republican coin, looks like Trebanius 135bc, head of roma, Republican coins can come in hoards, or maybe from a early military site, well done.

Post by: hedgehog on December 24, 2008, 06:17:05 PM I think you are all wrong, obviously the MAS is missing on the profile side , so obviously it is a profile of XMAS (the young father xmas of course) and he started off using horses (reverse) but found that they hadn't got the stamina of reindeer. ;D Merry Christmas all!

However, I don't think you can say this is a denarius of Trebanius unless there is clear evidence of the lettering as shown on here. Also the figure in the biga is different: http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=159074&AucID=194&Lot=319 (http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=159074&AucID=194&Lot=319) If there is no lettering visible, then I think it could only be described as an "un-named denarius" with Victory in a biga reverse (note the wings which indicate that it's Victory rather than another driver). Date likely to be c.189-170BC. Title: Re: Roman Denari found today - 231208 - Help Please! Post by: StumbledUpon on December 26, 2008, 03:20:38 PM :)
