Cr 386/1  AR Denarius L. Cassius Q. f. Longinus  
Rome, 78 BCE
o: Head of Liber (or Bacchus) right, wearing ivy wreath; thyrsus over shoulder
r:  Head of Liber left, wearing vine wreath; L•CASSI•Q•F behind
Crawford 386/1; RSC Cassia 6. 
(3.88g, 14mm, 9h)
An unusual type, with heads on both sides there is some dispute as to the identity of the images.  If both are manifestations of Bacchus, then this moneyer apparently really liked to have a good time and wanted his future constituents to know it.
