Cr 474/1a L. Valerius Acisculus AR Denarius
|
Rome 45 b.c.e.
o: ACIS[CVLVS] Head of Apollo r., hair tied with band; behind, acisculus (= pickaxe)
r: Europa seated on bull walking r.; in exergue, [L]·VALER[IVS]
This specimen is a variant, as the dies usually have a star above Apollo's forehead. This one clearly does not, as there is ample room in the field up to the border.
Valeria 17 var.; Syd. 998 var.; CRI 90 var.; RBW 1568 (this coin)
