Roman: Emperor Claudius. I'll keep digging.

The letters "O" and "S" are prominent, but there is a 'weak' "C" before the "O". The abbreviation is COS= Consul, the highest annually elected magistracy of the Roman Republic. From 509 BC until the fall of the Republic two consuls were appointed each year to act as temporary heads of state. Consuls continued to hold office under the Imperial constitution and quite frequently the emperor himself, or his heir, occupied the position.

On this coin the Roman 3 ("III") is present, signifying, I believe, a commemoration of the third time Claudius was elected to this Consul post.

The "S" "C" is the abbreviation of Senatus Consulto, meaning 'by decree of the Senate'.

A 'bio' of his life can be found here:

yeah.... It's a Roman: Emperor Claudius. I knew this with the help of this site http://www.2-clicks-coins.com since I am a newbie like you. This site that I introduce is my reference site for my coin collecting hobby. It gave me more information on collecting coins. Check this site and I hope it can help you the way it helped me.
