Tafflaff and other members shows what I know about coins, Iasked you all earlier about the coin I found and I told you it had a stag on it! well I have to come clean and show my stupidity, it is in fact a face of a roman emperor if you look closely but my question is which one.
You are all good at your information so I know I can count on you all
Also ive just had a bad thought about this coin, the break looks clean and has deteriated on the edges the same as the complete coin if this makes sense, there is also a clean pin hole directly through his neck could this of been done in anger I wonder!

The pics are less than 4kb so the definition isn't there even when expanded.

It looks like a radiate so late 3rd early 4th century.
