Hi me and my uncle went to a flea market today and his friend was selling really old coins from the 1800's and early 1900's and he gave me a very old coin that he said is from the ancient Roman empire. At first I didn't beleive him and said if he was telling the truth and he said yes. The picture is almost worn out there is a pic of a guy wearing the ceaser crown thing and the other side is 2 people and in the middle its something I have no idea what it is.

I was wondering if anybody knew. I went online to find out what coin and I can't find anything about old coins.

Thank you for your help!

It is most likely a denarius which was the staple coin of rome for a long time. Is it small, and silver?

send me a scan or catch me on YIM or AIM rfsindustries , cause I can probabyl indentify I am a coin collector.

EARLY 1800?`Haha it can wear Roman Empire's picture.

Oh dear haha Roman empire was gone in those times Roman empire started growing if I remember right about 300 BC and collapsed somewhere in before 600 AD totally if I'm correct. But in 1800 and early 1900? IF that is a REAL Roman Empire Coin I'd laugh. For sure, often coin can not survive over 2000 years mate...xD

The Roman coin is just a collector's item,it might be worth a lot of money.
