Roma, holding spear and shield, * before, crescent above, ROMA behind. Moneyer Publius Licinius Nerva (Babelon Licinia 7). [/B]Found Peterborough, UK. I may have the attribution incorrect as this time period is not my specialist subject! I believe the reverse should have been a voting scene. I think it was used for a very long time before it was lost. It was found in the UK, and the Romans didn't invade until 43AD, 155 years after it was struck.
