<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 298628, member: 8959&quot;]This is a denarius of Vitellius which i found metal detecting. You will readily see that the coin bears the mark of having been buried for many centuries. It was buried at a depth of about 15 cm. The coin was actually quite bright when i retrieved it, and the edge lettering was very distinct. A few weeks after recovering it, some of the letteing becanme very weak and faint. I assume, due to the action of the atmosphere on the coin. The reverse shows Mars naked wearing a cloak walking right. The legen reads CONCESUS EXERCITUUM.&nbsp; A presume a reference to the allegiance of the legions supporting him?</p><p>I do not think the coins is a fourree, although it is corroded in places. A dark core does not show.</p><p>I have never found many denarii, only 4.&nbsp; Surprisingly, 2 of them are of Vitellius. The other has the LIBERTAS RESTITUTA reverse. It is in very good condition.&nbsp; I may post it sometime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
