[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1863375, member: 15445"]I am not the best ancient answer guy but I can give you the following information. MAT said that your first coin is an Augustus. Augustus is the Roman ruler depicted on the coin. This link describes several Augustus coins. You can scroll through the examples & look for your coin. It looks similar to the one listed as RIC473. [URL='http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/augustus/t.html'][U]http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/augustus/t.html[/U][/URL] The weight & dimension of your silver coin determines the denomination of your coin. It would be nice to know the weight & dimension of your silver Roman coin. The denomination "Denarius" is the predecessor of the English Penny. This is why the denomination "D" is on so many modern English coins. LRB is a TLA which means “Late Roman Bronze”. TLA means “Three Letter Acronym”. :)[/QUOTE]
