COIN

Unique ID: NCL-B101F7

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

A contemporary copy of a Roman Republican silver denarius of Lucius Flaminius Chilo (issue of 109/108 BC, Mint of Rome). Original issue, RRC 302/1.

Notes:

There are traces of a core (iron or copper) around the edges of the coin. The reverse legend should start under the horses, not in the exergue. Therefore, this coin is struck from false dies rather than being cast from an original coin.
