jacqueline New Member United Kingdom 44 Posts	Posted 10/30/2013 05:01 am Hi jay Thank you for your information. I will try and google your info. iv looked at thousands of roman coins trying to find one like mine. I find this coin a little different. on my coin you can see his shoulders. normley on coins I you see the side view of the head and neck. this coin shows side view of head and shoulders facing the front ?. haven't seen any more coins like this. Interesting. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/31/2013 09:40 am Hello, We'll need the other side to give you any info. From what I can see on the coin, its Gratian (c. 370). I'm guessing the other side is a votive wreath (VOT X MVLT XX or something along those lines). To clean it, leave it in a pot of olive oil, giving it a light brush occasionally until clean. Could take years, but I reckon this one wouldnt take more than a month at the most. Report this Post to the Staff
