Excavators in Hungary have discovered a "very rare" gold Roman coin that features the face of a murdered Roman emperor.
The third-century coin depicts Emperor Volusianus, who co-ruled the Roman Empire for about two years with his father, until the emperor was assassinated at age 22 by his own soldiers. Because of Volusianus' short reign, coins bearing his face are rare. What's more, the coin's denomination is rare, as is finding gold coins from the Roman period in Hungary, said Máté Varga, an archaeologist at the University of Szeged in Hungary and head of the excavation...
Other uncovered artifacts include Roman silver and bronze coins (including one of the third-century emperor Probus), a bronze key, a silver ring with inscriptions and a glass brooch...

John Brooks some small scallops and very little to nothing in the way of erosion.

As usual, there were a lot of pieces of copper and also a lot of encrusted objects. I picked up a few of EOs to look at later.
I also picked up a couple of those large pyramid sinkers, which showed a 30 on the Equinox. That is much higher than the smaller sinkers I showed yesterday and very much like a half dollar coins.
