A community for collectors of ancient and medieval coins.
ID requests are welcome, but please post clearly lit images of both sides of the coin as well as a picture of the edges of the coin.
Sales posts are welcome. Inspired by the old ancientcoins subreddit, memes and jokes are only allowed on the last day of the month.
I general, just be nice to each other :)

Thanks so much!
To add to this, Republican moneyers often used the office to create coins with motifs associated with both their gens (tribe/family), here Gens Tituria, and their family name, here Sabinus.
And so here we have a coin featuring King Tatius and the famous abduction (rape) of the Sabine women.
