An interesting find..

L. Titurius Sabinus denar, it was, probably, ritually bent and burned on a pyre, as a part of Celtic/early Roman custom...

That's a cool find. Neat it was part of a pyre.

 

The "SABIN" is easily readable, on the obverse left of the coin. They're common coins.

 

And Lm., there are two bankers marks too..

 

Where I live/ there is nothing to find that is of interest. I did find a 1854 Upper Canada Copper Token/ strangely it was MS perfect. Other then that in my work I pick up a lot of trash from clients lawns.

 

I have one bent just like this--I never knew it might be evidence of some ritual. Makes my poor specimen much more interesting!

 

I have always been witing for the day that I find a chunk of gold digging a hole for a deck post or fence rail. One of these days..

 

Your own Oak Island.

 

I know, this coin is not ancient top class thing, but the story behind its interesting..
