Title: Re: Mrs Stampy's 1st Roman we think? Post by: stampy on August 30, 2011, 09:26:31 PM Sorry my photo's are quite pnts, it appears to have two figures facing eachother with at least one arm each aloft???? The other side of the coin sadly has no visible features, we think its made from bronze due to its colour, (Mrs Stampy let out a little whimper at first sight thinking it was gold! - or then again it might have been the spade around the head - when I Accidently slipped ;D )

Post by: stampy on August 30, 2011, 09:54:46 PM I'm gutted no matter how many photo's I take I can't get it any clearer, there really isn't too much detail to work with anyway, perhaps I will bring it along to Sundays rally and see if anyone can take a look then , thanks for trying :-\

You will soon find out when you post a better pic! That's a great deduction Jon - I think you could be right.
