Found on a site where another detectorist had previously been is a coin that  reads
obverse     FLAVEL CONSTANTIUS OB CAES
reverse      GENIO POPULI ROMANI
 appears to be made of brass

 It is in a very good condition and this is what worries me. It has a casting sprig at 1 o clock and is made from brass at a guess. to survive in the ground for 1800 years in this condition does not seem right to me. thoughts anybody

He was Caesar 293-305 Augustus 305-306
AE Follis
He campained in britain and died at york

Hope this is of some help

Well ID Des  Grin

Thats what i thought it was

The Romans used brass in there coinage from the time of Julius Caesar

That might explain its condition  Very nice find you got there Paul

all the best Phil Jones
