Need help identifying supposedly roman coin
Hi!
I found a coin in a drawer which my dad claims is roman, a claim I'd like to verify. It's in pretty bad shape so you can't make out any figures or anything but on one side you can clearly see the letters: VOT XXX NVLT X X * I'm not sure about the middle X on the second line, it might just be "X X" * On the coin the N on the third line is mirrored, like a child might write it. The blank space between the N and V is also quite large so there be something missing there. The letters are surounded by a kind of a ring or wreath. Is it possible to decude anything from this information, like when it was made, who made it, and where? What do the letters stand for? Regards, David |
