    Hello. I really need to identify this roman coin. It is made of Bronze and has the diameter of about a quarter. For sure Roman though. Please help. Here are some images: IMG_6196.jpg IMG_6196.jpg IMG_6197.jpg IMG_6198.jpg IMG_6199.jpg

    Looks like an as with Mars reverse, like this example from Savoca:

    Domitian AD 81-96. Rome
    As Æ
    26mm., 10,39g.
    IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XIII CENS PER PP, bust right / VIRTVTI AVGVSTI, Mars standing right holding spear and club.

    @David Atherton or anyone with the appropriate volume of RIC, what do you think?

    Could also be Minerva. She was his favorite goddess.

    Yes, it's indeed a VIRTVTI AVGVSTI type, but hard to narrow down the year because of the worn obv legend. This is a common reverse repeatedly struck for Domitian.
