Roman Republic. Anonymous. 211-208 BC. AR Denarius. Rome mint. Helmeted head of Roma right, with a curved two line

horseback right; ROMA, partially incuse, below. Crawford 44/5; Sydenham

This
is one of the earliest Roman denari. The earliest and rarest
type has the ROMA legend on the reverse fully incuse. This one is the
from the second group where ROMA is partially incuse with the final, and most common,
group having no part of ROMA being incuse. For international shipments, please reach out to me on the "Contact Us" page. |
