Rome saves the day

[hammered]

My farmer has given me a new field, so today I decided to give it an hour or so to see what was on there. As with a lot of my fields this one is still stubble, this time barley stubble but beggars can't be choosers so off I went. The nose cone from an Anti Aircraft round gave me a bit of a surprise, I might clean it up and use it as a paper weight . There was a lot of lead and a few other bits and pieces, then came the hammer head, another paper weight . Heading back towards my bag, and eventually my dinner, I got a real good signal and found a very nice Roman. I haven't identified it yet, and the pics don't do it justice ( I will take better pics in daylight tomorrow)

Hi Dave, the nose cone was pointing straight up and I thought , just for a second, is it complete , then in true detector spirit, I thought "what the heck, let's just dig" . The glass stopper only showed because it still had it's metal cap on, still with a lion or something showing

There will be more!! Get back there again. good luck. l think l can see MAX in the legend so start there.
always nice to get a new field. John.

Hi John, how are you , to be sure, I will be going back tomorrow for a few hours if I can . Thanks for the help on the id, I'm really bad in that area

Cru'Dad says H is right with;

Maximinus II as Caesar AD 305-308 Follis with Obv GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB C and Rev GENIO POPVLI ROMANI. Sears(88) 3754, like Trier mint RIC VI 650 (genius naked type which is rare as the loin cloth type is common)

PS. I love Barley Stubble & by now (being the first crop off), it must be lovely to work (unless the weeds are up). You should get great depth in those conditions.

Nice paperweight
I thought I saw 'Romani' on there
Great OLD Find! Congrats

 

[HUNTER12]

So, You got a Trier minted roman... We are trying to get new roman fields just to see the coins minted around the corner are now in UK...
Congrats on a nice Follie.

It's a best guess as the mint is not clear.

I dont see it very often that Your guess isn't right...

 

[Daedalus]

That is a Nice Roman Coin Hammered . Some day I hope to get over there and find one myself. That is about the only way I will ever get one .
Looks like you might have a good field where you are now. Good luck and hope you find more great items.

In this case, its Dad's but that increases the chances when we are ID Roman Coins

Dad looked at it & now thinks:
PLN for London and therefore RIC Vol VI 57
