                                Description

     This piece was minted circa 75 BC, under the authority of the
     moneyer Cn. Egnatius Cn.f.Cn.n.Maxsumus. The Egnatia gens was of
     Samnite origin, and does not appear to have moved to Rome until
     after the Social War. This moneyer was a man of somewhat
     disreputable character who was admitted to the Senate but later
     expelled. No satisfactory explanation of the types has been
     suggested. The obverse of this type depicts the draped bust of
     Liberty facing right, with cap and MAXSVMVS behind. The reverse
     features Roma and Venus standing facing, the latter caressed by
     Cupid, oar on prow at either side, with the ligatured legends
     C.EGNATVS.CN.F. in the exergue, CN.N. on the right, and a
     variable letter at left. This piece is struck on a smallish flan,
     but otherwise grades a nice F+, with clear devices and legends
     where struck up. A nice example of this rare type, catalouged as
     Egnatia 2a, and listed in RSC at 110 Pounds. All coins guaranteed
     genuine without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders over $20.
