I was at a coin show today and got this. I was buying some coins at a table and asked how much this ancient was, he told me that I just just have it. Anyways, just curious what this coin is, right now I have no clue. Any ideas? It is a little bigger than a half dime, or a silver three pence. That's a sixpence, which is the same size of a dime, in the last photo
Maybe an ancient bigfoot Time to contact the history channel and show them that bigfoot and people lived together in ancient times, I bet they will make a new show to follow up on ancient aliens
Generally speaking, it's a late Roman bronze (often abbreviated LRB). The reverse shows the emperor dragging a captive. The reverse legend might have been GLORIA ROMANORVM. I don't know much about LRBs but there is a considerable amount of information online. I doubt you'll be able to narrow it down though.
Your coin is late Roman from the dynasty founded by Valentinian I but the type was used by his coemperors and made from several mints so need details you lack to be identified properly. Below are examples of Valentinian, Valens and Gratian. Notice all the letters they have that allow ID. Your coin is worth exactly what you paid. Perfect ones of these are not expensive; identifiable culls are $5....
