Silver Roman 1818 years old

[hammered]

I managed to get out on the new field for about 4 hours this morning. Straight away the finds started coming , I really don't think this field has been detected before as most of the finds are only about 3 inches deep. Todays haul was very varied, the only thing I didn't get was a hammered, but the silver roman made up for that. This is my first roman silver and I don't know who it is yet, although it is quite worn so that may take some time. I also found a couple of Macaroni (Dandy) buttons with a lot of gilt still on them and an amazingly large horse shoe, anyway on with the pics

1. Roman obverse


2. Reverse


3. The rest of todays milled coins, including a George 2 ha'penny


4. A couple of roman scrappies


5. The best of todays buttons


6. Todays lead finds


7. And finally, todays artifacts




Thanks for looking

Here is Dads thoughts:

I believe it could be a SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS as I think I can make out the IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG

Hi mate , I was just cross referencing sears with wildwinds and I think you are correct. Something like this:-

I have good eye sight & can make out the smallest detail, however without Dads years of experience study coins (thousands) with hardly any detail, I don't have his knack of making out what is to most people a smudge
