Title: Re: Roman for id please Post by: wittsy1 on August 28, 2015, 02:20:59 PM That's a very nice coin. Can't help with ID, but I believe Roman Coins with two heads are quite rare. I might be wrong.

i've never seen a roman coin with a double bust before. I look forward to reading the ID from those much better informed than i. Lovely find to see, thanks for sharing.
