                                Description

     This piece was minted circa 89 BC under the authority of the
     moneyer L.Titurius L.f.Sabinus. The obverse type depicts the head
     of Taitus facing right, with the legend SABIN behind. The reverse
     features two Roman soldiers, each bearing a woman in his arms,
     with legend L.TITVRI. in the exergue. This gens traced its
     descent from the Sabines, and perhaps from king Taitus himself,
     which accounts for the use of the head of Taitus on all of the
     types of this moneyer. The reverse type is a reference to the
     rape of the Sabines by the Romans. Coin is struck on a smallish
     flan, but otherwise grades F, with clear devices and all legends
     readable. A very decent example of the type, catalouged as
     Tituria 2. 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,
     please visit my WWW site at www.philly.infi.net/~mdgeary/ .
     Thanks!
