Roman Republic, RRC191/1 VAL As Known examples of Rev Die YSosius posted an anonymous? As(RR0027) with an illegible legend. However, I think the die can be identified because the prow has certain oddities. Once the Rev is identified, I think the Obv can also. See if you think RR0027 has the same dies as the 2 asses in the image.Richard S6Mar 13, 2023
