Help identifying some Roman Coins

Recommended Posts

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.

Jason

P.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.

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

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! :)
