Thought I would start showing some of my finds. Found my first Roman back in January, and its Silver. Trajan Fortuna I believe.

That really is a stunner Wittsy  :o It wouldn't be my choice of a first Roman to find though as it could take a long long time to find another in that condition ;D

We generally like to find Roman grots and broken brooches first, but a silver in that condition has not circulated much I guess, and has been recently brought up by the plough  ???or sat in the pasture protected.  ;)

Welcome to DW wittsy, hope you enjoy.

What a stunning Roman.  Please, please tell me you DIDN'T find it in Pembrokeshire.  It's a great find where ever you found it,  well done.

Val

Very nice :)

A very good 'first roman' - just get used to years of disappointment with the rest :D

Maybe we should start a thread with everyone's 'first romans' so you get the idea of the usual stuff
