Cr  56/4 AE Triens  Anonymous
Rome, after 211 BCE
o:  Helmeted head of Minerva right; above, four pellets
r: ROMA. Prow right; below, four pellets. 
 9.08 gm, 25.00 MM
 This coin is vastly better in hand than this photo.  The patination is perfect.  The execution of the reverse is somewhat amusing -- the prow is almost crammed to fit within the border due to a disproportionally large hull and seems curled back on itself, hardly an impressive vessel if it were real.
  The "sextantal" series that are collected under Crawford's Type 56 is really a catch-all for numerous sub-groups, for which there is no better resource than McCabe's website to distinguish into several groups.  Obviously, since I am not making that attribution at the moment, I have not taken the close effort with this coin, even though I like looking at it.  Compare it to my earlier  example in this gallery, which is not nearly as nice.
