Roman coin for ID please

Post by TheHolyBoar »

[81/] I found this Roman coin a while ago but I’m not confident on an ID so I thought I might get some help with it. Thanks very much for any knowledge

Would anyone know if this coin is of fairly impure silver? Just wondered if it would clean a little bit

It looks to be slightly debased silver, so I’d tend to go steady with it,I think it looks fine as is.A nice find though, even more so when you didn’t realise it was a Denarius. [81/]
Maybe these maps and legends?
