LadyHawk New Member Romania 4 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 4:27 pm Well the woman on the back of the coin is holding something like a trident, which I haven`t noticed in any Commodus denari. Also the coin is copper, and is about 2,5-3 mm thick. Report this Post to the Staff

Go to google and search 'Wildwinds Commodus' and then, on the page, Ctrl + F and search for cornucopia until oyu find a matching design. You'll find a LOT of variations in roman coins.

Make sure you write it down though, I can never remember what my coins are. you can also get text based stuff on it, by clicking either 'text' or pressing on the image - this one is from an auction. The nicer condition coin sold for £53! Yours is a bit beaten up, but still a good catch. Report this Post to the Staff
