    Thank for answer. So this is then Dupondius ?

    When I was google
    This is like the As, but the metal is made of brass instead of bronze. Brass is
    a yellow metal and is commonly confused by newbies as gold. However, it is
    easier to just look at the bust as they will will feature a radiate bust. These
    range in size from about 27-28mm in size

    But this coin isn't yelow?

    One of your link you give me there is also I read "AE As" and other link thay say Depundois

    So this is AS or Dupondius?

    Very nice. I think you told me that you sell coins, right? If you do I might be interested, maybe. If you don't sell then don't worry about it.
