Ancient Roman Bronze Coin

Brief Description

A small, weathered bronze coin. The reverse appears to show a stylized fallen horseman or a seated figure, typical of the 'Fel Temp Reparatio' type minted under Constantius II or Julian.

Historical Significance

Representing the late Roman Empire's economy, these 'Fallen Horseman' coins were minted to celebrate the restoration of good times (Felicium Temporum Reparatio) during a period of frequent civil wars and barbarian incursions.

Estimated Value

$5 - $20 USD (depending on precise attribution and state of corrosion)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they will strip the patina. Handle with cotton gloves or by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing further oxidation.
