Description: | An extremely worn copper alloy Roman coin of unknown denomination, possibly of imperial period As, Dupondius or Sestertius denomination. Possibly dating to c. 1st-3rd centuries AD; the Dupondius or As was distributed commonly from 37-293 AD, whereas the Sestertius coins most commonly found in Britain date from 50-260 AD, with a focus on the 2nd century. The obverse is completely obliterated by corrosion and there is a panel of a deep green patina. The reverse is also extremely corroded, however in a similar panel of patina to the obverse, the bare outline of a standing female figure holding a cornucopia is visible. It is uncertain how much of the coin is missing and as there are no traces of obverse or reverse legends, a positive identification is impossible.
