I think I found Roman silver (138 AD ANTONINVS ?)

[Benjamin52]

Back to the field with the 1758 Würtemberg silver and lots of buttons I got an iffy signal and dug what I first thought was a very deep button.

Back home washing things off I noticed a silverish rim and took the dirt-laden object along to a hunt with a friend who has more experience and gave me some advice on cleaning.

After carefully soaking and cleaning off dirt with a toothpick more and more silver came out underneath the dirt crust.

From what I could read I can distinguish "PIVS ANT ONINVS" and "PAX AVG TRYX X ??"

Weight between 3 and 4 grams.

I believe it might be a roman silver denarius from Antoninus around AD 138 , I would appreciate if anyone knows more about this coin.
Too bad its probably a late roman denarius with only 80% or so silver content but well, i can´t complain this year the romans are treating me better...

Besides, if it has been in the ground for almost 1800 years it probably has the right to be a bit crusty...

I tried to take pictures in different angles so that all features would be visible:






<- the rest of the junk lying around on the field....


Any ID appreciated if anyone know more about this coin or the ID is wrong...

Thanks Lu for the expert opinion on the coin and happy hunting to everyone...
