Vatreni Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 9:23 pm Thinking this might be a roman coin? Some corrosion going on. Appreciate you guys helping with this one. If anyone wants to take a guess. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 9:31 pm @Vatreni, if the obv inscription starts off DN VALEN, then I think that this is most likely a late Roman bronze from Valens. I'll recommend to the mods that your thread be moved over the ancients section of CCF so that more eyeballs can get on it.

Obverse: D N VALEN-S P F AVG - Diademed bust right, draped and cuirassed. Reverse: SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE - Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. Star over D in left field, S in right field. Mintmark probably ASISC or similar. Attributed at RIC IX Siscia 15b, type xiv (b). Report this Post to the Staff
