Cr 383/1 AR Denarius Ti. Claudius Ti.f.Ap.n.Nero
o: Bust of Diana r., bow and quiver over shoulder, S C before
r: Victory in biga r., CXXXXV below; TI CLAVD TI F / AP N in ex
   This type is one of the issues that have a large number of control numbers on both obverse and reverse dies, and per Crawford, “each control-mark has only one die.”  Thus, each of them was struck from only a single reverse die.  These types are quite useful for numismatic statistical analysis.
   This particular coin I find to be enjoyable because Diana's quiver clearly has a cover on it.  In modern times, archery quivers are open-topped sort of things, mostly for carrying the arrows from the garage to the back-yard range.  In ancient times, and all times when arrows were weapons or tools, it was extremely important to keep the "fletches"/feathers/vanes protected, and to keep the shaft dry and point protected.
