From the pictures only, this coin appears to be genuine.
Rome Republic anonymous denarius,
obv.: Winged helmeted head of Roma right, "X" behind head
rev.: Discouri riding right, "ROMA" in exergue, beneath.
Very difficult to date the anonymous issues of the Roman Republic because the issuer is not identified on the coin.
The "X" represents 10 asses (a bronze coin) to the silver denarius. Later, the denarius was revalued at 16 asses to the denarius.
Check the 'VCOINS' website, for a value of similar coins in similar condition.

Alsο would like to note that at the back there isn't no chariot but a horsemen riding.
*Forgive me my english luck of rich vocabulary.

The Castor and Pollux horsemen type dates to the late 3rd century BC (211-206 or so) and is seen with many devices, symbols or letters below the horses as wel as some with nothing. This seems to have a staff with barbs but I do not know what they call it in catalogs that I don't own. Later these were replaced with the chariot types and those with more varied and original designs. I understand there are some rare ones but do not know which ones they are or if there are enough people collecting the series to make them more expensive.

These are difficult coins to attribute accurately. Many Republican coins that look a lot like these have part of the moneyer's name on them, but when they don't they are said to be "anonymous." Take a look at this site on Roman Republican anonymous denarii: http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/to see how many varieties there are. -- Warren |

Thank you for the link I made my research at the site you provided me and haven't found something even close to my coins.
The main deference is the second line at the top of box that with the words "Roma".
Thanks for the effort I think must visit a specialist to help me identify this coins.

Many times there are symbols above the linear frame around ROMA. I wonder if this could be one such symbol. I thought it might look something like Ref RSC Anonymous 20g where there is a club below the horses, but above the linear square. Take a look at the coins on this link especially 20g: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear...ml#RSC_0020c |
