I have been checking out republican coins showing Pegasus and also those with a Free horse, what I find is that there is a coin of the Cossutia showing Bellerophon hurling a spear while riding Pegasus.
This coin is of the Cossutia Gens who were of Equestrian rank.
Then there are other coins showing a Free horse however these are of Pre-Denarius coinage going back to BC 200s.
What one might consider here is that just maybe Sertorius might come from an Equestrian Rank family hence the phalera, then also there is the matching tomb stone of Sertorius Firmus standard bearer who may well be a relation and also another military man.
