Roman bronze oddity?

[BillE]

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!

Hi

You need to upload images of the coin in question for anybody to be able to properly assist identification.

Republican coin in the uk - sounds pretty unlikely
