A Roman copper alloy contemporary copy of a nummus of the House of Constantine, dating to AD 354-361 (Reece Period 18). Probably imitating FEL TEMP REPARATIO, soldier spearing fallen horseman reverse type.
The flan is thick and concave, almost resembling an Iron Age coin. Corrsion has obscured much of the obverse' detail, leaving its correct orientation unclear.
