Title
obverse of copy of Republican denarius
Description
English: Probably a contemporary Roman bronze copy of a silver Republican denarius. 
   The size suggests a Roman Republican denarius as does what looks like a bust of Roma facing right on the obverse. The metal, however, suggests that it is a contemporary copy (possibly the core of a previously plated imitation). The rough and pitted surface and crude style of the horseman support this theory.
There are several denarii that sport similar designs - Crawford RRC 286/1 and 295/1 (116 or 115 and 113 or 112 BC respectively) - the latter even has a large Q behind the horseman that maybe preserved here.
