And now for some Roman

[Colin the cop]

As promised here are a few of my Roman coins.
As you can see 200+ years in British soil dont do you much good The top 5 we call `Grots` as you can see no detail
These are the most common of Roman bronze coins found but as you can see by the bottom row a few do survive very well.
I wont try to tell you what they all are but I can tell you that the silver denarius withSC by the bust is from.....
87BC that makes it 2093 years old
The big bronze is from the film Gladiator but its not Russel Crowes face its Marcus Auralius(probably spealt wrong)

As always....Enjoy looking and keep finding.

Those finds are amazing! Here in the US, finding something 200 years old is a rarity, it must be wonderous to be able to find things more than 2000 years old.
