Which I found with my credit card. They were inexpensive, and as I found two REAL Roman coins some days back, decided to buy a few. Found a place with a few hundred in ziplock bags and picked out some, including all the silvers. Not cheap, as to speak, but I think I did ok now I am having fun trying to figure out what they are.

1. Roman Republic Almost big as a half dollar and a lot thicker. Here it is. Ships' prow on reverse, View attachment IMG_0507.jpg IMG_0508.jpg
Not sure of the orientation of the obverse. Anyone with clues on dating it?

2. Roman Republic Almost as big as a half dollar, thinner than #1. Same type of ships' prow on reverse. IMG_0509.jpgIMG_0510.jpg


3. Roman Republic, little bigger than a nickel and thick. IMG_0511.jpgView attachment IMG_0512.jpg

4. Roman Republic, nickel size IMG_0513.JPGView attachment IMG_0514.jpg

All are bronze, any help would be appreciated. I have some reference books, but since we never get this stuff over here, I'm kind of lost.

On #2 and #4 you can see the word "ROMA" under the ship. View attachment IMG_0515.jpgIMG_0516.jpg This is the last one, helmeted man facing right and I think a ship on the other side. Interestingly, I couldn't see squat until I took a pic of them, now I can see them a little better. 21 megapixel camera.

Neat. Looks like the ones I have were made in that time frame, about 200-300 years BC.
