Description: | Worn third century Roman sestertius. The almost square appearance distinguishes the coin from first and second century examples. There is a very worn right facing bust on the obverse and left facing seated figure on the reverse. The legends have been worn from both sides of the coin. The coin was struck in copper alloy and now has an even, dull green patina. It has a diameter of 29.43mm, is 3.13mm thick and weighs 15.86 grams. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 200
