COIN
Unique ID: BH-716714
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation 
A very worn copper-alloy Roman coin. The size of the coin indicates that this is probably an as, while the obverse image bears some resemblance to Commodus (Augustus AD 180-192). The reverse image appears to show a figure standing right, placing something on a column. RIC no. 588 for Commodus (APOL PALAT P M TR P XVI COS VI S C), an as minted at Rome in AD 191, provides a possible match for this coin. It measures 28.4mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick and weighs 10.8g.
