A silver Roman\u00a0Republican denarius, almost certainly of C. Servilius, minted in Rome in 136 BC. The obverse depicts the helmeted head of Roma facing right,\u00a0with the legend ROMA\u00a0below. The reverse depicts the Dioscuri riding away from one another wth spears reversed. The reverse legend is almost illegible, but the faint letters VEI can just be discerned in exergue, forming part of what would have read C. SERVEILI. M.F. Diameter 18.66, thickness 1.74, weight 3.4 grams. (A similar example is listed in\u00a0Crawford's 'Roman Republican Coinage', 1974, pp. 270, ref. 239). \u00a0<\/p>","notes":null,"reuse":null,"created":"2010-05-12 17:17:39","updated":"2010-06-07 16:25:00","secwfstage":"4","findofnote":"1","objecttypecert":null,"datefound1":"2010-01-01","datefound2":"2010-01-31","inscription":null,"disccircum":null,"museumAccession":null,"subsequentAction":"1","objectCertainty":null,"dateFromCertainty":"4","dateToCertainty":"4","dateFoundFromCertainty":null,"dateFoundToCertainty":null,"subPeriodFrom":null,"subPeriodTo":null,"createdBy":"81","obverse_description":"Helmeted head of Roma facing right wearing necklace of pendants","obverse_inscription":"ROMA","reverse_description":"Dioscuri riding apart, with spears reversed","reverse_inscription":"[C.

The remaining 98 pieces were Roman coins of which 35 were too worn, corroded or incomplete to be identified. Most of the coins received proved to be difficult to read for the reasons given above, those in groups G and H being particularly poor. For these reasons many radiates and coins of the House of Constantine I after 330, cannot be classified here as regular \/ irregular with any degree of confidence. The date range of the coins covers the whole of the Roman period from the second to the late fourth century. The fact that the number of coins from the earlier part of the fourth century, between 315 and 330 equals that between 330 and 340 and the number and range of irregular coins in the whole assemblage is perhaps worthy of note.
