They are generally ~16-25mm in diameter with some larger coins included.


The bronze are likely Constantinian era coins with great detail hidden under a layer of dirt. The coins are genuine and bought in bulk from European auction houses or people who find them metal detecting.


During the height of the empire Rome's mints were producing ~1M coins per day. Later bronze issues are commonly found throughout Europe. During the 3rd and 4th century AD, inflation was one of the key factors towards the decline and fall of the Empire. Most of these coins, among other late Roman Bronze coins can be attributed to this period. Emperors such as Diocletian enacted price controls only making things worse driving consumers to the black market.

Dating back to the late stages of the Western Empire, these coins represent a time of great tumult and change. As the Roman armies struggled to maintain control over the vast expanse of their territory, they minted vast quantities of coins to pay their soldiers and keep their war machine churning.

But these coins were not always destined to see the light of day. The instability of the region meant that many of them were buried, hidden away from the eyes of the world. And for those who buried them, their fate was often uncertain. Perhaps they fled in the face of an advancing enemy, or succumbed to the many dangers that lurked in the shadows of the frontier.

But now, centuries later, these coins have emerged from the depths of time, bearing the marks of their long journey through history. Some are scratched and worn, testaments to the harsh realities of life in a tumultuous era. Others are remarkably well-preserved, their intricate details and finely wrought designs a testament to the skill of the craftsmen who made them.

So if you're a history buff, a coin collector, or just someone who appreciates the mysterious allure of the past, don't miss your chance to own a piece of the Roman Empire. These uncleaned bronze coins offer a glimpse into a bygone era, a time of war and conquest, but also of artistry and culture.

I will include in depth cleaning and attribution instructions so you can work out exactly which emperor you are revealing.
