Description: | A possible copper alloy Roman Sestertius dating from the 1st to 3rd century AD. There is the outline of a probable bust facing right to the obverse but the reverse is worn blank. The piece has a mottled green, eroded surface with what may be a ferrous core.This is a known methodology, an iron core with a non-ferrous metal layer and are called "Subferrati". If this is the case, then the date is likely to be the 3rd century AD.
