Without an obverse and the corrosion around the edge it's difficult if not impossible to know  exactly who issued it but it was probably similar to this
Hadrian Æ Dupondius. IMP CAESAR TRAIANVS HADRIANVS AVG P M TR P COS III, radiate bust right / VIRTVTI AVGVSTI S-C, Virtus standing right, foot on helmet, holding spear & parazonium. Cohen 1470.

nice find though Falcon and is great dating evidence for the land Wink

I think it's more likely to be a bit later than Hadrian - if you notice on the coin the spear is held in the right hand (left as viewed), where-as Geoff's example it's held transversely in the other hand.

A possibility is a coin of Marcus Aurelius (especially given what I think I can see of the curliness of the hair on the obverse and style of beard).

It's quite small for a sestertius, but you can tell by the placement of the 'C' in Senatus Consulto that quite a lot of the edge of the coin is missing - i.e the bit with the really diagnostic legend (probably TRP something)

Wow! a lovely little find Sandpiper and you've got a Roman site of some type, it's an Umbonate type plate brooch (Hattatt 535) from the 2nd century and so contemporary with the coin Wink
