Hussulo Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 It looks Roman, but I don't know if its genuine. We'll have to see what the Roman experts think. Quote
Geordie582 Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 The only reference I can find is for a silver coin.Obverse CORNELIA SUPERA Wife of Aemilian circa 253ADReverse VESTANoted byRichard Plant in his 'Roman Silver Coins' as very rare and expensive.BUT Your coin looks bronze, which makes it a copy of some sort. Probably a petrol station give-a-way! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 The surface and execuction of design are all a bit wrong on that aren't they. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a modern copy, lost a lot more recently. Quote
