Probably Roman

[robfinds]

Had this small coin the other day. It's probably late Roman, the head though looks a bit different. Any ideas from Cru Dad, would be great.

Dad just emailed:

[FONT=&quot]We can see it is Barbarous but with an attempted? Diadem type depicted head. With all the lines on the Reverse I suspect it is trying to copy a Soldier spearing Horseman which were commonly imitated. So I am going with a FEL TEMP REPARATIO AE4 Imitation coin of circa 350-360AD but it could be anything barbarous.[/FONT]

There should be a game show: Stump Cru and Cru'dad.

Great find Rob and glad you received an ID.

Cheers

Nice one Cru, that was fast. Many thanks to Cru Dad also.
