Brooch Field - Day 5 - x2 BC Roman Silvers & Big Hammered!

[CRUSADER]

Arrived today to see that the whole farm had finally been drilled with Spring Beans.
It made our jump off point a little harder to find but I managed to butt up to our last grid & continued the hunt.
Part of my gridding strategy with my mate is to get him started & then leap to the outside edge & work my way in to fill the gap.
Whilst I was going to the new starting point & Roman Silver Republic popped up, it was way out of the known scatter & meant I needed to change the plan & fill in a whole new area. Whilst doing this another Roman Silver of Augustus came out in nice condition. If that wasn't good enough I put a hammered onto the silver total as well!
4Hrs:

15 Roman Bronze Coins
Roman Spoon Bowl

Congrats on the silvers, one of the better days out hunting.
Too bad the fish scale crotal was broken.

Too bad the fish scale crotal was broken.

Kept it because it had a nice horseshoe makers mark, & yes it would have been a really nice one. The fishscale type are the earliest.

Re : Your Roman Republic Silver BC
The reverse shows 'III. VIR......"
Per Wiki: "During the Roman Republic, moneyers were called tresviri aere argento auro flando feriundo, literally "three men for casting (and) striking bronze, silver (and) gold (coins)". The title was abbreviated III. VIR. AAAFF. or even III. VIR. A.P.F."

Cru,
This may be your unknown coin; certainly similar if not spot on.

Thank-you so much for your work on this. I was hoping I would get up this morning & you would have done the hard miles. I never started & Cru'dad was out last night.

You were so close & the only difference is in bold (your link is downwards):

Man Acilius Glabrio Denarius. 49 BC. [SAL]VTIS (upwards), head of Salus right / [MN] ACILIVS III VIR V[ALETV], Salus standing left, holding serpent and resting left elbow on a column. Syd 922, Cr442/1a. Note: The part of the reverse legend on the right can be either circular (Acilia 8/Cr442/1a) or vertical (Acilia 8a/ Cr442/1b).

Fantastic job sniffing out those goodies!

One of these days you're going to stumble on a horde of romans.

Excellent batch of finds !

I believe the godesses is Securitas.
Per AI: "Securitas is the Roman goddess (or personification) of security, stability, and confidence in the Roman Empire. She often represents the "freedom from care" or safety of the state, frequently appearing on imperial coins from the 1st century AD onwards, usually depicted relaxing or leaning on a column. " (Boldness added)

Final thought: The coin is a denarius of Mn. Acilius Glabro showing Salus on the obverse, and Valetudo holding a snake on the reverse. Like this:

Yeap, that's the correct SALVITIS in the right direction.
