Roman Republic, 99 - 50 B.C.
Roman Republic, L. Papius, 79 B.C.

|99-50| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |L.| |Papius,| |79| |B.C.||denarius| |serratus|
In Roman Republican Coinage, Michael Crawford notes, "The control marks on this type are normally paired related symbols. Each pair has only one set of dies." In Roman Silver Coins, H.A. Seaby writes there are at least 235 pairs and "They are well executed and cover the whole rang of Roman life and industry, etc., and are of great interest to the antiquarian. They are mostly symbolic of the various trade-guilds." In Coin of the Roman Republic in the British Museum (BMCRR I), H. Grueber describes the bird on the reverse as a crow. We think it is an eagle. The owl is the bird of Athena, the crow (or raven) is the bird of Apollo, and the eagle is the bird of Zeus.RR98469. Silver denarius serratus, BMCRR I 3032 (same dies); Crawford 384/1, controls 76; SRCV I 311; Sydenham 773; RSC I Papia 1, Choice EF, tone on luster, light scratches, weight 3.790 g, maximum diameter 18.5 mm, die axis 90o, Rome mint, 79 B.C.; obverse head of Juno Sospita right, clad in goat's skin, owl (control symbol) behind, bead and reel border; reverse Griffin leaping right, eagle (control symbol) below, L·PAPI in exergue, bead and reel border; SOLD

Gaius Cassius Longinus (before 85 B.C. - October 42 B.C.) was a Roman senator, the prime mover in the conspiracy against Julius Caesar, and the brother in-law of Brutus.RR86478. Silver denarius, BMCRE East 77, RSC I 4 4a, Crawford 500/3, Russo RBW 1762, Sydenham 221, Sear CRI 221, SRCV I 1447/2, nice VF, attractive style, bumps and scratches, slightly off center, weight 3.906 g, maximum diameter 20.6 mm, die axis 180o, struck near Smyrna, Ionia(?), mobile military mint, spring 42 B.C.; obverse head of Libertas right, wearing stephane, earring, and necklace, C•CASSI• IMP upward behind, LEIBERTAS upward before; reverse capis (jug) and lituus (emblems of the Augurate), LENTVLVS / SPINT (moneyer legate P.

The moneyer was likely a nephew of Manius Fonteius and possibly a friend of Cicero. The reverse probably depicts the exploits of his uncle while governor of Narbonese Gaul, 76 - 73 B.C. His uncle was also a moneyer, striking c. 85 B.C.SH58589.

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
