    this Roman Bronze has me flummoxed! Bronze, about 20mm at widest diameter, seems to be a Greek Legend but its pretty corroded so hard to be sure... thank you in advance

    I think it's Aurelian, Sol/Captive reverse.

    Agree.
    You can make out the IMP AVRE on the obverse and the OR on the reverse.
