     Q. Thermus M.f. 103 BC. AR Denarius (3.76 gm). Helmeted head of
     Mars left / Two warriors fighting; fallen comrade between.
     Minucia 19; Crawford 319/1; Sydenham 592. Good VF, reverse a tad
     off-center to right. 712177.

     This coin is a primer on Republican-era Roman military equipment
     and tactics. The head of Mars on the front sports a plumed
     Italo-Corinthian style helmet, a type often worn by Roman
     officers. The two warriors on the reverse are most probably a
     Roman (left) and a Gaul (right). The Roman wears a simple "jockey
     cap" style helmet termed a Montefortino by modern researchers; he
     wears a thigh-length coat of mail (hamata), fights with a short
     thrusting sword (gladius), and defends himself with a long,
     cambered oval shield (scutum). The Gaul wears a horned helmet and
     holds a smaller, round shield. He appears to be unarmored,
     wearing only a short tunic.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.

        CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates.

         Pennsylvania residents please add appropriate sales tax.
