                                Description

     This piece was minted circa 109-108 BC, under the authority of
     the moneyer L. Memmius. The Memmia gens claimed descent from
     Menestheus, the Trojan, one of the companions of Aeneas to Italy.
     This type, however, seems to refer to Menestheus, the Athenian
     king, who with the help of the Dioscuri drove Theseus from
     Athens. The obverse of this piece depicts a male head wearing an
     oak wreath right, with * below chin. The reverse features The
     Dioscuri standing facing, holding their horses, with legend
     L.MEMMI in the exergue. Coin is struck a bit off center, with a
     little peripheral weakness, but otherwise grades Good VF, with
     clear to bold devices and legends where struck up. A very nice
     example of the type, catalouged as Memmia 1. All coins guaranteed
     genuine without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders over $20.
