I picked up an interesting coin recently - Q. Titius Æ As, Cr. 341/4d, 90 BC
Q. Titius AE As, Rome, 90 BC.
Obv - Laureate head of Janus
Rev - Prow of galley right; Q TITI above, control symbol to right.
Crawford 341/4d;
Grueber Rome 2236
Sydenham 694b.
Sear 743
RBW 1279
9.26g, 26mm, 9h.
This one has a control mark in front of the prow that I could not identify, but was advised it is a helmet. That looks correct to me, but it is not on the list. Crawford (and Grueber, Sear and others) list the following control marks:
caps of the Dioscuri
Crescent
Caduceus
Caduceus
palm branch
Star
Ass's head
Cornucopiae
Horse's head
dolphin
