A resized image of Copper Alloy Roman coin

An extremely worn copper alloy Roman coin, probably a Sestercius of Hadrian (117-138 AD). Only a faint outline of a laureate bust on the obverse remains; it is possible to see traces of a female standing figure on the reverse. Nothing of either legend remains. For a possible parallel example on the PAS database, cf. BERK-29C8F4.
