Cr 335/9  AR Denarius  A. Albinus Sp. f. 
Rome, c. 96 BCE
o: Diademed and draped bust of Diana right, bow and quiver on shoulder; below, ROMA
r:  Three horsemen galloping left; before, fallen warrior; in exergue, A. ALBINVS S.F. 
[This example has AL ligate.]
3.87 gm  18.50 mm 
The odd items on the reverse above left of the riders are likely standards, but the left-most one looks almost like a modius!  There are a few possible interpretations of the reverse, none of which are particularly stronger than the others, and all relating to the Postumia gens' tendency to get killed in battles important to Rome.  Crawford associates the types of three moneyers for the same year.
