And if so, what do you suppose the
undertype was?
Note the "booger" thing under Ceres' nose (though I suppose that could be an engraving anomaly from the die?), and the apparent stuff going on in the fields behind the curule chair on the
reverse.
I guess maybe it could have been
overstruck on an earlier
Republican denarius?
I'm trying to picture quadrigas and stuff like that, but just can't make heads or tails of it. (Or maybe a skinny, stretched-out single
horse like on the L.
Calpurnius Piso Frugi
denarii? Perhaps my imagination runs rampant. But it sure does look like
something is goin' on, though...) What do you think?
