Roman republic to identify
« on: August 09, 2016, 05:58:22 am »
Dear Board:
Though I identify my self as roman imperials coins collector but from now to then I add some other types to my collection, I am purchased recently two republican coins though I am new to these types, I have this one and I am finding hard time to identify it, any help would be appreciated, it is 19mm and 3.75 grams.
Regards.

No problem.  It's easier if you know what to search for.  I entered "dioscuri, Roma, X and crescent" into acsearch.info and it came up.  :)
