Can anyone please give me info on a roman coin.

It is bronze, has a head laurated right facing. on front has words Imperaors. and what looks like numbers and i think the words augustus on it.

On the reverse it has a figure left facing and holding up a sword or torchin right hand.and has the letters S C at each side of him. other writing includes a word ending in TAP and another word that ends PP. i think

I believe this coin was commisioned to commererate a roman senate.

Could someone please give me further info on this and if possible some idea of a current value

kind regards

Dear Trisha,

Unfortunately the info you provided describes about 70% of all the Roman Bronze coins! Most of them had Imperaors or an abbreviation of that, most also had Augustus, and most of the earlier ones had SC on the back as that was the Roman equivalent of 'Promise to pay the bearer'.

if you register you can post a picture with your listing or I would recommend the online attribution system of:

Thanks for posting.
