Nice find. Not Tiberius though, it's Vespasian, like this:

At least you got Roman!

I just had a silver viccie sixpence but at least that was whole!  ;D

My finds from yesterday...........

Found these two nice things in the first half an hour and then nowt much for the rest of the day!

The silver brooch hallmarks appear to be Birmingham 1933.

Had this roman off the dig,also broken which is a shame because it's hardly worn. Think its Postumas and a billon antoninianus.
