Dirt Monkey 1 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Hello all,I wondered if some people on here would be able to assist in identifying some Roman coins I obtained about 20years ago. I got them from a jewellery shop whilst working in Tripoli, the shop owner told me they came from the Roman site of Sabratha a few miles away. I have two silver coins and three bronze.I have always had an interest in coins but have only recently started collecting again. I am having loads of fun trying to figure out grading them but have a book to help me on the British pre-decimal ones, that doesn't really help so much with these so any assistance with grading would be great.I do have an idea of what I think some are, from a bit of rudimentary google work, but would love to hear what you guys think.Thanks in advance.JasonP.S. my files are a bit on the large size so will have to post one at a time, It may also take me a while to photograph and process them.

Dirt Monkey 1 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Sorry I realise there is probably a better way to post these but I also wanted to try to get some good quality images.I also realise I said I had five coins, but two are the same.Thanks in advance.Jason Quote
Coinery Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hi Jason,We don't have a large community of Roman collectors on here, and I do know at least one of them to be inactive at the moment.Hopefully someone will come along with some information for you?Didn't want you to feel ignored! Quote
