I think this is a Roman but need someone to ID it for me please. If it is, its only the second Roman coin
I've ever found.. I've also enclosed a rather strange object that looks like a dogs head. The site these came off
does have a Roman history.
Cheers

If you don't get a definite id pass it to your flo. They get most of their difficult ids done by Philip de Jersey who is the foremost expert on roman coinage. He can identify even the worst of coins.
