COIN
Unique ID: NARC-41D6C2
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A copper-alloy Roman nummus of the fourth century. The small size of the coin suggests that it may be a contemporary copy. It is very worn, but the reverse may depict a soldier spearing a barbarian who has fallen from his horse, so this may be a copy of a Fel Temp Reparatio issue of 354 to 361 AD.
