These begin with a large number of “Head of Roma/Dioscuri” and “Head of Roma/Chariot” coins; but later we find a wonderful variety of designs. The latter I intend to list by type, rather than alphabetically by the family name or the magistrate, as I think this will make it easier for the collector to identify a coin.
Note that 'I' and 'J' are both written as I. The 'U' and 'V' are both written as 'V'.
Note, also, that two, three, or even four letters may be tied together or “ligate”. Thus i PUR, and b ANTE
GROUP 1: Coins of the “Dioscuri” type (As CRS9) with the name written, usually below the horses; but sometmes above the horse, or behind the Head of Roma on the obverse.
Values: CRS16 - 161, generally all ?30/$55 - ?40/$72 in VF. Some coins with interesting designs, or higher values, have been illustrated.
CRS18: VF ?30/$55 - ?40/$72
CRS37: VF ?30/$55 - ?40/$72
