Cr 113/1  AR Denarius  [Star]
Rome, 206-195 b.c.e.
o: Head of Roma right, X behind head
r: Dioscuri riding right, star below; ROMA in linear frame.
4.0 gm
Similar to my Cr. 122/2 denarius, this issue is part of a group with stylistic similarities and associated bronze denominations, in this case As through Sextans.  
This specimen is better than the photo; there is a small amount of corrosion along the obverse crack, which is not plating.  The earring and hair of Roma are quite sharp; the bodies of the Dioscuri on reverse are distinct.  I have always found the "cloak versus armor" question as to their main attire difficult to determine.
