Roman Republic Denarius C Mamilius Limetanus

Roman Republic Denarius C Mamilius Limetanus struck at Rome 82BC. A popular type that may or may not be an allusion to the return of Sulla from the Mithridatic wars in the same year. Very fine with a nice tone.

Obverse: Draped bust of Mercury facing right, wearing a winged petasus, a caduceus behind his shoulder. Control letter L behind.
Reverse:Ulysses standing right, holding a staff and extending his right hand towards his dog Argus, who stands left to greet him. C MAMIL LIMETAN

The Small Print:

All coins, medals and other items I sell are genuine unless I have explicitly described them as otherwise, I have been selling on eBay for over 20 years and I guarantee this forever.  If I sell you something as genuine that later turns out to be a forgery I will take the item back and refund you in full including all postage costs.  There are a great many groups on social media sites with experienced collectors posting coins that you can look at which will help you learn to grade coins and offer advice on whether a coin is genuine or not. Don’t get caught out by fake coins. Feel free to copy any of my images to post on groups to get opinions on the actual coins I’m selling.

I’ve made every effort to provide good quality images of the items I sell but, with coins especially, there’s no substitute for having it in hand to examine it under a lens to assess it. If you buy anything from me and are disappointed when you receive it, for any reason, send it back in the same condition as it was received and I will refund you.
