Roman bronze oddity?
in Ancient Coins
Posted
New to the forum, but love the discussions!
I have a Roman bronze that I can not identify, despite hours of research. Can anyone help?
It's a Roman Republic ae (bronze), with Janus on the obverse, and Roman vessel, prow right on the reverse - but "Roma" is ABOVE the prow. I've only ever seen Minerva obverses with Roma above and the prow and Janus bronzes all with Roma below. I myself found this one in the ground in the UK, so I have no reason to believe it's counterfeit.
Anyone have and info?
Thanks in advance!
