DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Lion's Brood It is much worn, - this denarius, - and the lines are softened and blurred, - as of right they should be, when you think that more than two thousand years have passed since it felt the die. It is lying before me now on my table, and my eyes rest dreamily on its helmeted head of Pallas Nicephora. There, behind her, is the mint-mark and that word of ancient power and glory, "Roma." Below are letters so worn and indistinct that I must bend close to read them: "- M. Sergi," and then others that I cannot trace.
