My dad gave me a Roman coin for my birthday, and I'm trying to figure out where and when it was minted. The writing on the outside of the coin is in pretty bad shape, but the figures look clear. My dad had no idea about it. All he knew was that it was Roman...<br>

-Looks like a centurion w/vine staff, could be mistaken...<br>
<br>
- at the centurian's feet is a small figure of an eastern decent<br>
<br>
- above the small figure and to the right of the centurion reads "X" with three ones below it.<br>
<br>
The figure on the back looks like Nero.<br>
