DigginSicilia Posted March 25 · Member Share Posted March 25 (edited) So what at first I thought was a Napoleon I 1 soldo from the 1800s: After rubbing it with my thumbs, turns out to be much older. Definitely Roman AS, not sure who it is. I will try to clean it up. 10gr and 27mm, copper or bronze. Found while metal detecting.

Hadrian-Antoninus Pius-ish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romismatist Posted March 26 · Member Share Posted March 26 Yes, an As of Hadrian was my guess as well c. 117-138 AD. Based on the profile, I'm leaning more towards Hadrian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigginSicilia Posted March 29 · Member Author Share Posted March 29 (edited) I'm leaning towards Antoninus Pius. With Apollo on the reverse. RICIII 824A. the neck is too thin for Hadrian. Edited March 29 by DigginSicilia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
