Back for good! Silver drachm.

[vince76]

I decided to get back at an old site, after two years. Someone has been cutting and cleaning the east side of the hill. It looked like a park on 40° .
A few Roman coins. Just close to an olive tree, planted lately, the silver drachm was around 3 cm deep.

Probably it came out when the tree was planted. I can read only the first magistrates, EYME.
Apollonia, Illyria. AR drachm. 18 mm, 2.66 g. Magistrates Eyme. EYME above cow standing right, suckling calf.

Heading to the top of the hill, there were less targets and deeper. I had to dig for 20 minutes just to be nearth a big hammered iron nail.
One of these deep signals was this bronze piece. Interesting. Still I don't have any idea what it might be.

'Rare', yes, as to similar coins availability . Valuable is another matter. Seems like little interest in bidding up these coins.
Keep digging and posting; ID-ing is a challenge.

View attachment 2014947It looks like a Roman bronze ewer handle with mask and probably, he's Bacchus.
Bacchus was the god of the grape harvest, wine-making, and wine. He was associated with ritual madness and ecstasy, particularly on account of his female worshippers, the Maenads.

I was going to say the same on the Roman mount.
Nice find & the silver is really nice as well. Congrats
