COIN (ROMAN)

A worn silver republican denarius. The obverse shows a galley with banners; this is probably a denarius of Mark Anthony, dating to c.32-31 BC, and thus is legionary coinage made by a travelling mint. The reverse is too worn to be seen, but would normally depict legionary standards, with a legionary eagle between them.
