             Roman Republic, AE litra, 269 BCE, 16-18 mm. Obverse : head
             of Minerva wearing crested Corinthian helmet. Reverse :
             horses head right, ROMANO behind. Grade VG/aVF. Very dark
             patina (the kind my scanner can't see!), a few spots of
             delamination, otherwise decent detail. A very scarce bronze
