I need help about this one. It is 40mm and heavy (60.80g), high relief.

There are nothing on reverse side.
In my opinion Byzantine may be Roman..?

Byzantine: Please don't use "RapidShare" to host pics; it's an extremely slow and irritating website to use, unless you throw money at them, which most people are smart enough not to do.

Now, as for what your item might be: it's not a coin. It might be a plaque or medallion of some kind. I'm not too sure it's Byzantine/Roman either; the horseman seems to be carrying a double-headed axe; not a weapon the Romans or Byzantines were particularly fond of using.

Labrys is the term for a symmetrical doubleheaded axe.
Labrys symbolism is found in Minoan, Thracian and Greek religion, mythology, and art, dating from the Middle Bronze Age onwards, and surviving in the Byzantine Empire..

Yes It's a medallion and hard to say something about period.
I like it.
Thanks, Sap and Turtleoverhead.
