Sextus Pompeius Fostlus. AR Denarius (18-19 mm, 3.94 g), Roma (Rome), c. 137 BC.
Obv. Helmeted head of Roma right, X before and jug behind.
Rev. FOSTLVS SEX PO, she-wolf standing right, head left, suckling twins (Romulus and Remus); behind, birds on fig tree; to left, shepherd standing right.
Crawford 235/1c.

Reverse struck slightly off-center. Superb extremely fine.

The reverse alludes to the families descent from Faustulus, the shepherd who discovered Remus and Romulus being suckled by the she-wolf on the Palatine Hill and afterwards raised the twins with his wife.
