Popped out yesterday with Mike hunting the old pasta eaters.

In fairness Mike managed to locate three of them where as I only came across a tourist who broke a fibula!

Other finds included a decent "Iron" Georgian shoe buckle and a early military/militia button.

Lovely day out in glorious sunshine and great company.

Any ID's on the Roman please?

Cheers
Neil

One of them is this:-

Constantine I. Trier. CONSTAN-TINVS AVG, helmeted, cuirassed bust right. VICTORIAE LAET PP, two Victories holding shield inscribed VOT PR over altar. Altar type Helv. 5a (star within a frame). Mintmark: STR. RIC VII Trier 229 var (unlisted officina).

the other is:

Claudius Gothicus AE Antoninianus. Rome, 268-270 AD. IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG, radiate, cuirassed bust right / GENIVS EXERCI, Genius standing left, holding patera and cornucopiae. Sear5 11340.

Although interestingly a 'variant' type of local manufacture was found at the Llanederyn hoard (according to wildwinds)

Need a better picture of the sestertius to id it.
