Mn. Fonteius C.f. AR Denarius, 85 BC. D/ Laureate head of Apollo right; below, thunderbolt; behind, MN·FONTEI·C·F (MN and NT ligate); before, AP (in monogram). R/ Cupid seated on goat right; above, pilei; in exergue, thyrsus; around, laurel-wreath. RRSC D148.1a; Cr. 353/1a; B. (Fonteia) 9. 3 g. 18.5 mm. Unusual style. Lowe weight; possibly a fourrée example. About VF/VF. The AP monogram should be regarded as standing for Ap(ollo); it can hardly stand for Argento Publico (usually appears as A·P) and bears no resemblance to the monogram RA, which does stand for R(om)a.
