Yesterday I found this countermarked roman coins.
one is an as from Lugdunum, 1st series 7-3 BC, wearing the countermark of Varus (Governor of Germany 7-9 Ad, defeated in the famous battle of 9 AD).
The other one is an as of Claudius (41-54 AD) wearing the countermark PRO

Very nice finds Folkert! Would that be London? I hope to find a Roman coin in Germany some day but it won't be around my area as they didn't come up this far. Froze solid here, I tried the forest today and it was a non starter. HH, Mike
