Seller's only wisdom is that it is bronze and about 30mm. Using their pictures. My best guess is Caracalla and Serdica -- can someone confirm? edit: There appear to be centering holes on each side.

Of course, if I had been forced to marry a woman I hate, and then told to give half of the Empire I inherited to my brother, I might have had a bit of rage saved up...

You got a nice chunky coin for a good price! Serdica for sure. Edited by Biancasdad 04/25/2018 01:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 02:35 am Just a tad bit over cleaned though A little touch of toning can only help it I think an acetone bath to clean away any oils and some exposure will help You might even try wrapping it in some newsprint and leaving it in warm place for a few months Brown it up a bit. Either that or an olive oil bath Report this Post to the Staff
