      Republic Manlia 4 Denarius (Sulla)

Moneyer L. Manlius Torquatus (Manlia 4), minted 82 BC

Head of Roma right, 'L. MANLI' before, 'PRO. Q.' behind.
Sulla in walking quadriga right, crowned by Victory above, 'L. SVLLA
IM.' in exergue.

An interesting coin and one of the few in the Republic series to
       mention Imperator Sulla by name. It was minted by L. Manlius
       Torquatus to celebrate a grand triumph that was given to Sulla after
       the Mithradatic war. RSC notes that the figure in the quadriga is
       Sulla himself. The obverse has good detail but suffers from pitting.
       The reverse is reasonably intact and Sulla's name is nicely visible.
