Title: Little roman help please Post by: N8 on September 20, 2019, 08:16:39 PM Hi all, went on a weekender with my regular club and found some little romans which I'm having trouble identifying them, any help appreciated
(http://) Not sure if the larger one is silver, when foil and saliva tested, there was a eggy smell but not as strong as expected. Thanks for looking Title: Re: Little roman help please Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 21, 2019, 06:13:43 PM top left appears to be a radiate from 150 to 300AD, the other 2 are 4th century

Can’t help with ID my knowledge of Roman coins is zero. All I can admit to is, I know what one looks like ;D Title: Re: Little roman help please Post by: N8 on September 22, 2019, 08:13:42 AM Hi Val,
Yes it was good ground, you're level of knowledge matches mine then, lol Title: Re: Little roman help please Post by: probono on September 23, 2019, 08:31:35 AM The one next to the 50p is a Carausius, Pax Avg reverse.

I've been searching and searching for that one but couldn't find a similar likeness Cheers Title: Re: Little roman help please Post by: probono on October 03, 2019, 02:58:58 PM The other three are a coin of Constans (top left), What looks like a bronze of Flavius Victor (is a camp gate reverse - top right) and a 'Constantinopolis' coin at the bottom (with Victory on the prow of a ship reverse).
