    Are you planning to unroll it ?

    A curse? I don't think I'd play games with the Gods.
    :D

    Cool find. Sounds like I need to run to wherever you're from. (England?)
    A google search tells me that this legion was in Dacia in 125 AD? Or were legion numbers recycled?

    I'm still learning all this. Forgive me. Just asking questions.

    I would like to MD with you some day. Not so sure of the curse tablet, but the MA would be great.

    I would disagree. You found a rare coin, that still had enough to be identified. And, you live in an area where you can find things of this nature. I think you are very blessed!

    I believe OP is in Eastern Europe, possibly Serbia, if I remember right.
