                                Description

     This piece was minted circa 115-114 BC, under the authority of
     the moneyer M.Cipius M.f. The obverse type depicts the head of
     Roma facing right, with M.CIPI.M.F. before, and X behind. The
     reverse type features Victory in biga right, rudder below horses,
     ROMA in exergue. This moneyer has been identified with a certain
     Cipius, who gave rise to the proverb 'Non omnibus dormio', and
     who was called "the snorer" because he pretended to be asleep in
     order to facilitate his wife's acts of adultery. Coin shows a
     couple of obverse scratches, and is a bit off center on the
     reverse, but otherwise grades AVF, with clear to bold devices and
     clear legends where struck up. A nice example of the type,
     catalouged as Cipia 1. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped
     on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders over $20. For more ancients,

     Thanks!
