Title: Re: FIRST ROMAN YEEEEEES!!!! Post by: jtalbot0001 on February 14, 2012, 06:20:20 PM That is a fantastic find, it just makes me even more eager to find my first Roman Silver! Well done!
Title: Re: FIRST ROMAN YEEEEEES!!!! Post by: Chef Geoff on February 14, 2012, 06:29:16 PM Jon we don't tend to get the early Roman Silver over here as this was a pro-Roman area and so didn't have a large army presence, the silver is found were the legions were. South Wales produces far less Roman coins overall but a far higher percentage of Denari.
Well done on the republican - a great roman to start with! Neil Nick ignore that, it's not a republican coin. True classification would be Imperatorial but as he was the first true Emperor then it would be classed as the newer rather than older Roman coins.. Title: Re: FIRST ROMAN YEEEEEES!!!!
