<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bespetna, post: 252524, member: 9563&quot;]well I have this coin my dad says is thousends of years old. It looks to be roman but maybe you can help me identify it or maybe even give me a link to a website that would tell me more about the coin. It is damaged around the ends so most of the letters are unreadable. The pictures on the other hand can be seen clearly on one side but not on the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some pictures:</p><p><img src="http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/152/picture002jn9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7862/picture004ai2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This image looks to have a soldier with a flag giving it what aphears to be an angle with wings a halo and its sitting on a thrown.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can somewhat make out the letering it says</p><p><br /></p><p>from left to right on top:</p><p><br /></p><p>*M*V*IOAN*CORNELIO</p><p><br /></p><p>at bottem it says</p><p><br /></p><p>*A.M*</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4774/picture005gi2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This side is much harder to see but still a bit readable</p><p>The picture looks like a lion type creature with wings</p><p><br /></p><p>Its realy hard to make out the lettering wich says:</p><p>(unreadable to the left) then staring from the middle to the right top</p><p><br /></p><p>DI.DVCAT.VENET.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>MORE PICS:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture011.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture010.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture009.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture008.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture007.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture006.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa58/bespetna/Picture003.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please help me find this coins identity.</p><p>I would love to see the history of this coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
