It said London's British Museum possesses the other coin. The coin, from the year A.D. 107, bears the image of Augustus, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. It was minted as part of a series of coins honoring Roman rulers. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...CDHP#image=1 Report this Post to the Staff
