An L. (Lucius) Sempronius Pitio AR Denarius 148 BC Roma & Dioscuri on Horses. A Republic period coin, little is known of the Sempronia family.
From the estate of a private collector. Many of the coins from this collection are sealed and as such we have not been able to weigh them. Do note, however, that they are guaranteed original.
A well struck coin, slightly off-centre. The obverse is very clear with some oxidation on the bottom section which obscures some detailing. Some fading to the reverse image but "L. Semp" and "Roma" are still distinct. Graded as VF.
Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma right; PITIO downwards behind, X below chin.
Reverse: The Dioscuri, each holding spear, riding right; L•SEMP below, ROMA in linear frame in exergue.
