Yesterday Finds 11/2/2023

Yesterday, I was on a trip to an ancient Roman site and found 26 coins. What is strange is that they are small coins, and I could not confirm whether their size in this shape is normal, or whether they have been eroded due to weather conditions such as riding, rain, and earth salts. I will attach close-up and enlarged pictures of some of the coins.

I don't understand what you mean by minims?

I'm not a Roman coin expert by any means but I believe the smallest coins were referred to as a minimus. Some of your coins look near to normal but others are quite small.

If you Google minim, you can find a few articles about them.

Roman coins, but I was unable to determine their date or determine the emperor who issued them. Here is a coin that is considered better than the previous ones and was extracted from the same place.
