TYPE Roman Republic, Appius Claudius and T. Mallius (moneyers), silver denarius, ca. 111-110 BC DESCRIPTION . Obv: Helmeted head of Roma to right Rev: Victory in racing triga of prancing horses r.l, steering lead horse into a turn; in ex. AP.CL.T.MAL Q[VIR] REFERENCE: Cr. 299/1a, Syd 570 GRADING: VF / F+, gray toning ORDER INFO: R2409, $72 Interesting and dynamic reverse, with a rarely seen triga of horses, in a rather free or "unruly" gallop somewhat reminiscent of the classical Syracysan tetradrachms of the finest art periods - though it remains unclear whether the lead (viewer's rightmost) horse's reversed head is based on the same models, or it is actually being forced by the driver into a right turn.
