Silver BC. Denarius

Back on the thimble field from last sunday and it was more quality than quantity again. Some bits 'n pieces with another thimble but way younger than the last. Only one Roman coin but it's an oldie! Thanks for the ID Crusader, i was completely lost with nothing left of the circumscription. Only other roman find was a vulva leather mount. For me it was a great day out with a buddy and some nice finds. :hello2:

Correct ID by Crusader below. :notworthy: Can't edit the title, so sorry for that. May a mod can change that for me. Thanks!

Great coin & nice cavalry mount.
 

Stellar find. I really enjoy you and the other fellas over there posting such amazing things. Congrats!
 

It was a fun hunt and a well deserved present by the romans! :headbang:
The coin is really beautiful!
Gotta hit the area again some time!
 

Me want silver denarius. My wife and middle child are in Italy right now. Talked to them a couple of nights ago and was asked what I want as a souvenir. I said, please, no t-shirts or hoodies; how about a silver denarius?

I think I'm getting a t-shirt.

Fantastic coin recovery! :notworthy:
 

I believe that was a day's wage back then, it probably hurt a little when one of those were lost. Congrats, cool piece of history...not just a coin.
 

What Beautiful Roman Silver! Congratulations on your wonderful finds,

Buck

It was a bit difficult with the dry soil the day, we need a good rain on this field.

Grab your detector, they are there! But please be careful with the laws, it's no fun when things go wrong...
