<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 6438120, member: 87200&quot;]Yes, apparently a coin of Severus Alexander. One theory (not mentioned in the article) was that the coin came from the Middle East or Turkey and was dropped by a member of the Australian Expeditionary Force that was based in Egypt and the Middle East during WWI. Apparently some guy got the coin while he was away and happened to drop it in a park once he came back home. Otherwise we&#039;ll have to accept the notion that the Romans and/or their trading partners had dealings with the aboriginals.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://thewest.com.au/news/perth/treasure-hunter-finds-ancient-roman-coin-in-maylands-park-ng-b881186854z" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://thewest.com.au/news/perth/treasure-hunter-finds-ancient-roman-coin-in-maylands-park-ng-b881186854z" rel="nofollow">https://thewest.com.au/news/perth/treasure-hunter-finds-ancient-roman-coin-in-maylands-park-ng-b881186854z</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
