Recommended Posts

Posted
Ciao, un mio amico è venuto in possesso di questa moneta.
Il materiale mi sembrerebbe argento, il suo diametro è di circa cm. 1,8-2,0.
Purtroppo non posso pesarla.
Se possibile mi direste anche il suo valore, oltre che qualcosa sulla sua storia.
Ciao e molte grazie :D .

Confermo che si tratta di una riproduzione moderna. Brevemente ti allego la catalogazione con piccola descrizione e riferimenti della stessa in Inglese. E ti allego una foto di una autentica.

L. Sulla. 84-83 BC. AR Denarius (4.07 gm).
Diademed head of Venus right, Cupid standing
before holding long palm / Capis and lituus
between two trophies. Crawford 359/2; Cornelia 29.

This type was struck in a
military mint traveling with Sulla in the east
after his successful campaign against Mithradates
VI. The obverse type of Venus refers to Sulla's
belief that he was under the protection of Venus,
who granted him victory in the battle against
Mithradates. On the reverse, the trophies refer to
the battles of Chaeronea in 86 BC and of
Orchomenos in 85 BC. The capis and lituus,
normally symbols of the augurate, were probably
regarded by Sulla as symbolizing a claim to
imperium, as Sulla did not become Augur until 82
BC.
