My Only Roman Bronze

Hi

Even though I have been very lucky with lots of great finds, I have only ever found two Roman coins in over four years of detecting.  One is the bronze below and the other is a very worn silver.

It is a Marcus Aurelius Roman Bronze dating from 170-171 AD, a great first for me but the picture does not do it justice.

It was I.D by a helpful member of the MDF forum and here is what he told me about it:

Marcus Aurelius AE Sestertius. 170-171 AD. M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXV, laureate head right / IMP VI COS III S-C, Roma seated left, holding Victory & spear, large shield behind decorated with head of Medusa or wolf and twins.
