Could anybody help me out with these two please. I think they're a roman coin and brooch but im not positive. If anybody could give me an idea to how much they might be worth and perhaps what exactly they are I'd be very grateful. Thanks

It's almost certainly a sestertius of Commodus,made more famous as the bad guy in the movie "Gladiator" He ruled from 180-192 AD.There are a couple of ways that the coin can be identified.First,you can see the letters MODVS ANTON (Commodus Antonius) and second is the extremely curly hair.Not worth a huge amount of money in that condition but a nice find with a lot of history behind it. As for the brooch,looks like it might be a toga pin but I'm no expert on the subject..
