Hi James

From my rudimentary Knowledge of school Latin  i remember Exercitus meaning Army but i could be very wrong.

i dont think its a popular coin its not on any of my Roman Id cd,s or books ;0(

hi phil

send a photo of it to your FLO, and ask for help in identification... he can always send it onto the BM to the experts there, if he gets stuck.

cheers
