Can you help ID this Roman coin?

[Ken C]

Hi all,

I was on a UK metal detecting tour this March and I found this Roman grot. I've spent months trying to ID this, but my experience with anything Roman is very limited. I would love to know what this coin is for certain (including date estimate) and to see an example of what it would have looked like if it was in better condition. I'm just not sure there is enough detail shown to be able to ID the coin. The coin is currently awaiting export from the UK and I don't have any other photos available.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Can you ask the authorities to send you a print of the reverse then post it here?
In the meantime, can you describe what image is on the reverse?

Don the image on the reverse seems to be a warrior facing right.....Joe McDonough

Joe, I agree; this side shows a warrior facing right.
I'm asking for a pic of the coin's other side.

I have an email asking if they can send some photos of the other side. I know it's a long shot based on the condition of the coin, I was hoping someone might recognize the figure from a coin they might own or have seen before. If I get additional photos, I'll post them.

Crudad's thoughts;

''I think this is possibly an AD364-378 Dragging Captive type but overstruck with another design behind the Emperor and over the Captive.The view is close to the type depicting an Emperor advancing right, with Labarum, and dragging a captive by his head from behind him.''

Thank you very much for the info.

I'm still waiting for additional photos which I'll post once I receive them.
