Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A late Roman silver coin, heavily clipped. Posibly this was a siliqua, but the removal of the legend makes identification of the eperor from the obverse difficult due to the standardisation of imperial portraiture at this time.
Obverse:- Diademed head of emperor, facing right. Legend has been entirely removed.
Reverse:- Seated and draped figure facing left, orb in dexter hand and staff in sinister.
Diameter:-11 mm Weight:- 0.7g
