Cr  28/4  AR Half-Quadrigatus/Drachm
Anonymous, Rome mint
 2.99 gm;  17 mm 
c. 225 BCE?
Laureate head of Fontus/Janus
Jupiter in quadriga driven by Victory l., holding sceptre and thunderbolt; in ex. ROMA.
This type is associated with the series starting with the rare AU stater with Dioscuri/Oath scene, through the first Quadrigatus/ Didrachms.  The half-piece has no value mark.   The halves are considerably rarer than the full Didrachms and were presumably unsuccessful despite filling a gap to the unwieldy cast bronze denominations.  A precursor,  in a sense, to the denarius.
This coin is much nicer in hand than the photo.
