i suspect this was spansh coins since i see some pillars like structure , but it seems like it was a ancient roman coin. one side was corroded

BTW how can i add avatar and add more info about myself, ive been looking but cant find it.
Can't make out the photos too well, but it does appear roman. I can see the columns you're talking about. Did you get it from a dealer, or did you find it?

To change your avatar, simply go into the control panel, which is located on the upper left of the screen. Then, look under "PROFILE". You'll be able to change your avatar and customize your information there.

I don't think they are pillars  I think it is an M

Wow, that's a great match, Ron! Lemme tell ya, if I ever bump someone off, you'd be the detective I DON'T want to see!!! Lol.

Me: "I couldn't have killed that guy, I was at a movie from 1 to 3:00"

You: "Are you precise on those times?"

Me: "Even better, 110%"

You: "What flick?"

Me: "Titantic"

You: "Sir, Titanic clocks in at 2.5 hours, plus previews, I'm going to have to place you under arrest"
