I think I am a very happy camper these were among the batch of "uncleaned" roman bronzes I bought awhile back. These two and 2 others gave up no details with water or oil and toothbrush so I set the 4 to soak.... 2 are still nothing more then bronze slugs no details came out at all the other 2 however Let's see if I have the IDs right on these.. Constantius II ............................................... 1 Lepton 337-361 AD .................................................. Judaea/Procurator AE3 .................................................. ............Canoply 3 grain ears MSEP.............................................. ...............1st Century
nice little two victories there, and cool you got a judean coin...i've never got one of those in an uncleaned lot before.
mrweaseluv => first off => great name (full points!!) Secondly => your two new coins are also great pick-ups (congrats)
