Home > Members' Coin Collection Galleries > Carausius > Second Punic War (218-200 BCE)
Crawford 041/5, ROMAN REPUBLIC, Anonymous Post-Semilibral, AE As (Struck)
Rome, The Republic.
Anonymous. 215-212 BCE.
AE As (58.04g; 37mm; 12h).
Rome Mint.

Obverse: Laureate head of Janus: I (mark-of-value) above.

Reverse: Prow facing right; I (mark-of-value) above; ROMA in exergue.

References: Cr 41/--; see Russo, Essays Hersh, no. 1; McCabe Group A2.

Provenance: Ex Vitangelo Collection [Roma e-Sale 80 (4 Feb 2021) lot 937].

The earliest two series of struck bronze Asses (McCabe A1 and A2) were heavy and struck on broad flans in low relief. The flans for A2 were produced in two-part moulds, and often show casting voids as on this specimen. Russo and McCabe consider these part of the Crawford 41 series of early struck prow bronzes, which is otherwise incomplete (except by near contemporaneous aes grave asses).
