Hi All,

I found this Roman Coin? this weekend while metal detecting and need some help with an ID. I know nothing about these coins and hope I can get some information from the experts.

No I don't think so. I found it in 2 pieces and looked for the 3rd. I first found the main part and on rechecking the dirt found the smaller piece. It is corroded at the break on both pieces likes it's been apart for quite awhile.

Detector, can you make out any of the lettering? I see some on both sides but I can't make it out. Also what is the size of the coin?

I will try and get some better pictures when I get home and post them. It's about the size of a US quarter maybe a tab bit bigger. It is pretty heavy for it's size.

I see that Curtis Clay has responded on your posting to the Forvm site. He is a very knowledgeable expert so I would run with what he has said
