Nice bronze metal Post by: probono on April 22, 2014, 08:32:24 PM it is / was a roman sestertius - you can see the 'S and C' flanking the person - the yellow metal tells you it was a brass one rather than a bronze one, so likely to be 2nd century

Nice bronze metal Post by: Dale on April 22, 2014, 09:09:33 PM Nice find Mike, I can see the nice red bronze colour coming through, its a shame about all the farming chemicals as its just eat away at the patina, but if you look closely there is still a little green patina next to the chariots wheels.......Its a shame really but still nice to find ;) Frame it mate
