    Here is one which has me whipped. It's a 23mm, 8.3 gram ancient bronze or copper piece which was in the same lot of Roman Provincials I purchased from AACCOINS one of the best on eBay there is IMHO :) The coin has an off-center crowned bust and (maybe) a horse's profile on the reverse.

    Thanks

    Definately:
    A small glob of copper, circa: before today. Value: priceless as such things may be.

    I can tell you that it's a woman...one of the emperor's wives,sisters or daughters.That bumpy on her head is the little crown that is shown on the coins of almost every Roman woman.so that narrows it down to a couple of dozen possibilities...LOL

    OK, and the figure on the reverse is a person or persons standing, that narrows it down even more...:confused:
