click for a   Head of Roma right, 'X' behind.
Dioscuri galloping right, stars above,
dolphin below horses.
  aVF/aVF - good metal, no problems other than
  normal wear.

Notes: A nice example of an Anonymous type denarius from the
early reaches of the Republic. As a group, they are known as
anonymous due to the lack of identifying signatures that
later moneyers routinely put on their coins. Anonymous
issues almost always featured the head of Roma on the
obverse with either a chariot or the Dioscuri on the
reverse.
