    Lovely coin! I like that sort of half-patina where a lot of the bronze is showing through. You just have to keep your eye on coins like that for bronze disease - they are very susceptible to it.

    That portrait has a very nice style, indeed!

    Here's a Ceres sestertius from a later era:

    Rome, AD 147-161
    Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA, bare-headed and draped bust, right
    Rev: AVGVSTA, Ceres standing left, holding two torches
    Refs: RIC 1120; BMCRE 1516; RCV 4625
