That Didrachm is my favorite Q coin! What a stunner!

I recently showed my quadrigatus so I’ll show my earliest Roma which is also the first issue of the denarius (Crawford 44/5)

On a side note today is also my wife and I’s anniversary. We intentionally got married on Rome’s birthday! 🙂

Anonymous Ar Quadrigatus 225-214 BC obv Janiform head of the Dioscuri Rv Juppiter in a quadriga driven by Victory right. Crawford 28/3  RBW 64 6.70 grms 22 mm Photo by W. Hansen  The quadrigatus was the last and most heavily produced silver coin struck by the Romans prior to the introduction of the denarius. It appears to conform with the contemporary South Italian nomos. The costs incurred during the Second Punic War created economic stresses that the Romans were unable to successfully cope with thus the latter issues were heavily debased..
