Amazing Scene of Cupid Riding a Goat! Mn. Fonteius C. f. AR Denarius. Rome, 85 BC!
Laureate head of Vejo...vis (or Apollo) right; monogram below chin, thunderbolt
below head / Infant winged Genius (or Cupid) seated on goat, standing right;
pilei of the Dioscuri above, thyrsus with fillet in exergue; all within laurel
wreath. Crawford 353/1a; Sydenham 724; Fonteia 9. 21 m, 3.96 grams
The following is from a Roma Numismatic Reference:
"The reverse type is most likely inspired by the statue in the temple of
Vejovis. Next to the statue of Vejovis himself, there stood another statue
of a winged genius riding a goat, which alludes to the infancy of Jupiter,
who, on Mount Ida, was raised by the goat Amaltheia. The caps of the Dioscuri
are placed above, since they were worshipped at Tusculum, from where the Fonteia
family originated."
Important Notice About All Auctions 2019:EBay has announced that it will collect sales tax on behalf of sellers for items shipped to customers in Alabama (Jul 1), Connecticut (Apr 1), Iowa (Feb 1), Minnesota (Jan 1), New Jersey (May 1), Oklahoma (Jul 1), Pennsylvania (Jul 1), and Washington (Jan 1). Additional states will be added later. If you live in any of the affected states you will see a sales tax applied to your invoice and as a seller I will not see this number in my sales log.Example: A coin sells for $20. I charge $2 Shipping. I see $22 Paid. You however see an additional $1.72 you paid if you live in Washington State. Only bid if you accept these conditions please as I can't refund you tax paid to your state and hopefully your services you enjoy will be enhanced by the added revenue your state is receiving. You should havebetter roads and schools for example and your local elected officials apparentlyfeel you should contribute to this with an online consumer tax. I am sorry and I recognize this hurts my business but I can't change it.
The grading is done by myself, and reflects my opinion only after inspecting the coin. Grading is on the scale of Fine to Extra Fine and again in my opinion some coin series, (depending onhow they withstood the centuries) can be near Extra Fine if very few survived at that level of detail whereas Extra Fine for a coin series that survived well and is plentiful would have to present nearly as perfect as a modern coin. So what I am saying is my grading is also dependent on the coin series and the condition of those that survived to present day.If I get an ID majorly incorrect my friend Bob usually lets me know and you the buyer needs to look for notes I may occasionally add to the auction page where I give the correction.
General Auction Rules:1. Auctions Start at $1, No Reserve. 2. Fast Payment Appreciated so I can buy more coins & expected in 7 days. 3. $2 Shipping USA for all coins purchased in a 7 day period. 4. Once you pay the envelope is shipped and no more coinscan be added. 5. Outside the USA is $12, $8 Canada
