Roman coin???

[CHughes77]

This is a coin a friend bought from some idiot for $1.00!!!!! I know this guy was a real crack head!
Anyway, not sure if it is real or not. It has some patina green to it like iots been in the ground a while, but it is copper. I didnt know if Roman made copper coins or not, or is it just a reproduction. I have seen a coin just like this one on eBay for sale.

No date just XXI on the back bottom of coin. Anyone can shed some more light on this it would be apreciated!

Could be Roman - it certainly looks misshapen enough to be from that period, anyway.

It's definitely a Roman coin, all right. Try identifying by the inscriptions at this link:

Hi.... your coin is a Roman Coin of Diocletian the link PBK gave you is a very good site for Roman Coins, this one is very similar to yours but there are a few reverse types that are very similar. TK.
