Geto-Dacian, Roman Republic Imitative, 154 B.C. - 1st Century A.D.
The Dacians had a well-established affinity for Republican denarii, used them in enormous numbers, and also minted numerous imitations. Many Roman Republic imitative types, such as this type, are found in Dacia, and nowhere else. Some Dacian imitatives were quite faithful reproductions of the Roman Republic originals. Others, such as this coin, maintain the types but deviate in style. Other Dacian imitatives markedly diverge from their Republican prototypes with more or less fanciful, stylized or "barbarous" designs, often with mismatched obverse and reverse types and blundered legends. -- Phil Davis' website, "Imitations of Roman Republican Denarii" - https://rrimitations.ancients.info/RR95316. Silver denarius, Davis -; cf. official prototype Rome mint, 154 B.C., C.

Geto-Dacian, Roman Republic Imitative, c. 82 B.C. - 1st Century A.D.
In ancient Greek and Roman writing Dacus (plural Daci) and Geta (plural Getae) were interchangeable names for tribes of the Dacia region, distinct from but influenced by and possibly related the Thracians and Celts. Modern historians prefer to use the name Geto-Dacians.CE68430. Silver denarius serratus, cf. Davis C52 and M166; for the Rome mint, C. Mamilius Limetanus, 82 B.C., prototype see: SRCV I 282, Sydenham 741, Crawford 362/1, gVF, weight 3.846 g, maximum diameter 17.4 mm, die axis 135o, tribal mint, c. 82 B.C. - 1st century A.D.; obverse bust of Mercury right wearing winged petasus, caduceus over shoulder; reverse Ulysses (Odysseus) walking right, greeted by his dog Argos, staff in left hand, C MAMIL downward on left, LIMETAN (AT ligate) upwards on right; SOLD
Claudius, 25 January 41 - 13 October 54 A.D., Unofficial Imitative
The light weight, lack of uniformity in the legends, and attractive but unusual style indicate this coin was not struck at the Rome mint. It may be entirely unofficial or may have been struck at a provincial mint, probably in Gaul or Hispania.RB84432. Copper as, cf. RIC I 111, BMCRE I 199, BnF II 226, Cohen I 14, SRCV I 1857 (Rome mint, 41 - 50 A.D.), VF, nice portrait, tight flan, uneven strike, scratches, light corrosion, weight 7.824 g, maximum diameter 26.2 mm, die axis 180o, unofficial or semiofficial provincial mint, 50 - 54 A.D.; obverse TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P [IMP P P?], bare head left; reverse CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI (consistency of the emperor), Constantia standing left, in helmet and military dress, raising hand, spear vertical in left, S - C (senatus consulto) flanking across center; SOLD
