... from 68 BC. 
(Or 63 BC, depending on which of the seller's dates is a typo. I'll have to research it. Speaking of typos, note that it's a curule chair on the reverse, not a curule "hair".)
Somewhat OT on the Liteside, perhaps, but I thought y'all might like it anyway.

i shouldn't give you too hard a time as you're not looking at sweet U.S. coinage for toners...carry on...you're safe
to think some roman slave was under whips to hammer these out
the patina held up great too
it's a beauty...bantering aside there lordmarcovan...
According to wildwinds, it's from 63 BC, and apparently they're also the origin of the "hair" typo LINK.
Love that coin Rob
