Q. Marcius Libo Ӕ As. Rome, 148 BC. Laureate head of Janus; I (mark of value) above / Prow right; LIBO above, I (mark of value) before, ROMA below. Crawford p. 550, 59 (two specimens known to him reported as false); Sydenham 396b; RBW 918. 25.63g, 32mm, 9h.

Very Fine. Extremely Rare.

From the Amilcare Collection.

This type was omitted by Crawford, who condemned the only two examples available to him (Medagliere Capitolino of Rome, 2103 and the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris, A 12227) on account of them being 'altered in modern times'.
