Quote: I have a small set of roman coins. Unfortunately I have no idea which era they're from and truthfully I don't know how to identify them. They're sitting in olive oil for cleaning. Perhaps when most of the grime is out, I can take some pictures.
There are some great websites to help one identify their coins.

the above is one of the best, and most comprehensive. It is fascinating how many coins are out there. I just pulled some of my coins out. One of them was made during the reign of Constantine I, for an anniversary of the founding of Rome. It is really cool. It has Remus and Romulus, with a wolf on the reverse.
