The coin is genuinely Roman. I don't know which emperor is portrayed on it, though.
The photograph is taken at the excavation site of Vindolanda, by Hadrian's wall, UK. Mike Wilson and wife took us there summer 2003. The archaeologists were very friendly, and took time to chat with visitors. One of them passed around his findings of the day for us to look at, and this coin was of course one of the most interesting items. It's not as old as Graywolf's, though. It didn't have B.C. enscribed...:-) Cheers, Jostein Quoting Bob W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > Monday, October 11, 2004, 9:31:03 PM, Jostein wrote: > > > You may be interested to know where I came across this one then, > > Graywolf...:-) > > http://www.oksne.net/paw/cesarscoin.jpg > > that looks interesting.
