<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 7316679, member: 75525&quot;]It is a struck bronze uncia or 1/12th of an As (a one dot coin). Early cast uncias were 1/12th of a Roman pound of bronze, about 27 grams. During the Carthaginian wars Rome ran short of bronze and first reduced the size of cast uncias and then issued smaller still struck uncias. The first series of struck uncias had Roma left / prow right. Your coin is from the second, smaller series with Roma right / Prow coins. </p><p>[ATTACH]1278744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1278745[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1278758[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1278756[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1278757[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
