2.56 grams, 18.3 mm. Caesar looks real young -- at least in hand.

Perhaps Caracalla with Minerva and trophy reverse, similar to this:

Everything I read on the inscription looks right on. Thanks!

Does the fact it is a gram lighter than the example you found mean mine is a fake? I don't see a seam on the rim.

I suspect the coin is fine, but will defer to the many Roman experts who frequent this board.

From these pictures it looks fine, if somewhat corroded and chipped (which explains the weight deficiency). Evidence of casting, however, is in the finer detail.

It does appear to be Caracalla, the coin looks fine just worn and clipped which would explain the weight difference.
