L. Censorinus. AR Denarius, 82 BC. D/ Laureate head of Apollo right; to left, uncertain symbol (globe?). R/ L. CENSOR. The satyr Marsyas standing left, with right arm raised and holding wine-skin over shoulder; behind, column bearing statue (?) on top. Cf. Cr. 363/1b; B. (Marcia) 24. AR. g. 3.06 mm. 17.00 RRR. Extremely rare and unpublished. Lightly toned. VF.

An enigmatic example, with a symbol unlisted in RRC (cf. Banti 90/2: Nascia 11, 1972, lot 233). Despite the light weight it does not appear to be a fourrée. A contemporary imitation?.
