The Sanisera Site

So at the Sanisera site, there were different peoples occupying the area through the years. And for the most, these occupants were Roman.

I found a Roman coin yesterday! Well, actually it was half a coin. But it was during an economic decline of the empire so they would cut their coins in half and use them as functional currency. And then after that, during economically hard times, they melted coins down to make smaller coins.

The bigger the coin, the older it is. So my coin, even though it is technically half a coin, is quite the antique!
