Cr 299/1b  AR Denarius
Appius Claudius Pulcher, T. Manlius Mancius (?) & Q. Urbinius (??) 
Rome mint, 111-110 BCE
Helmeted head of Roma right; quadrangular device behind
Victory driving triga right, T•MA•AP• CL•Q•VR in ex.
3.94 gm, 17 mm
   The text above does not do justice to the complexity of the ligature of the legend.  This variety of the type leads off with moneyer "MA", presumed, not without contrary views, to be a Manlius or a Mallius; Crawford settles on Maloleius.  I retained the seller's interpretation in the header for consistency.
    "AP CL", by this time frame, will be a Claudius.  
     Crawford also cites but disputes an earlier interpretation that "Q. VR" stood for Quaestor Urbinus, rather than an unknown Urbinus.  Puzzling that a Claudius would share honors.  
No associated bronze types.
This coin nicely colored.
