I could even find a piece of Roman pavement made ​​with the technique of Opus signinum, also a pin with traces of gold-plated and decorated with woven stripes, and the usual things .. ..

UPDATED OF GALLIENUS COIN : :read2:

These coins are very common in Roman sites of my country , during the third century the whole country was completely Romanized, but it's hard to find these coins so well preserved.

Nice find :icon_thumright: Looks to be at least in fine condition, if not extra fine. Other than the silvering being worn off and a bit of wear, it looks just about as good as a Gordian III Antoninianus I bought a few weeks ago graded XF by NGC.

I have a jealousy of the silver coins that you hunt in U.S.A .... are much better preserved than those of Europe. :D

Yes, Gallienus was a little metrosexual and not shaving .... but lasted only eight years in power .... the Romans did not want to have a bearded emperor. :laughing7:

After researching a bit more this coin and I realized that Antoninianus of Gallienus were never made in silver (If not retain the silver)
The Antoninianus of Gordianus III can not be compared because the made in silver and this is brass.
The coin is not attrition, but weak error coinage.
Roman coins not buy online, most are false ... it is better to travel to Europe and catch them yourself.
I also I have coins Gordianus III .......Here I show.
Greetings!
