#1 looks like a C. Vibius denar, kind of like this one. (or one of the similar items listed)

#2 and #3 are eluding me right now.

I like the lips on #2 - kinda reminds me of the Chinese Mona Lisa coin from a year or so ago!

Is #3 a Cl. Pulcher ?

FilthyBroke

Problem is, they made so many similar designs. With the winged bust of Roma facing right, and the biga or chariot themed reverse, we need to find out what exactly the lettering is.

#2 I can't quite make out, CCA or GCA? #3 is a little clearer, with T MAR C something... I think most of these were issued around 150-100 b.c. or thereabout.


Edited to add: The moneyer is named in the exergue on these coins from what I see.

Could #2 be C. Caldus?


Added: Well, that's all I've got. Maybe Rob or someone else can step in and check these out, I'm curious about these now,too.



Oh, and here's a LIST of moneyers I found. Good luck!

#2 is C. Porcius Cato, 123 BC. Wildwinds index for this coin (8 examples).

#3 is indeed C. Pulcher, 111-110 BC, though it's listed on Wildwinds under Manlius, because his name appears first. Wildwinds examples.
