[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8249900, member: 134416"]You could also go Byzantine. A year 12-14 Constantinople facing bust 40 nummi from Justinian is always a good bet. Or maybe early third century Roman provincial? There's a lot of fascinating Balkan as-sized coins during the later 2nd-early 3rd time range.

You could find a better deal than that particular item, though. You could also go late Roman. Perhaps a non-clipped siliqua of Magnus Maximus?
