Went out this morning on local permission , it's a hill pasture field which is pretty rough, but not a million miles away from a Roman marching camp.
Having said that I rarely find Roman, only ever found three Roman's two of which were Republican silver Denari and the third a Domitian. So my experience of Roman is limited.
After two Victoria pennies, some lead and a sash window latch this Roman turned up. After another hour a bitter wind got up, and I decided to call it a day and came off the hill nithered.
Once home and warmed up I thought I would set to and ID the coin . Despite being in the ground for nigh on 2000 years give or take, I thought the detail was reasonably crisp.
Five hours and three I D sites later I am admitting defeat and putting a plea for I D help out to you coin wizzards.
If anyone could tell me what the coin is and any info around it I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Reiver.
Roman ID help please.

I'll let the big boys deal with this but I find this site VERY handy

mainly as it lets you put any letters you can read, on either side, and gives you the results of all the coins with letters in the legends in that order...

If you have a coin of significant value or importance then any cleaning would be inadvisable, but electrolysis can work wonders on old silvers.
Personally, I wouldn't hesitate
