Roman ID help?

This is just a cheapo.. my first roman coin, picked up at a show (with a pretty slick display: piled in a sifter with other cheapos like a dig site image ).. so if you don't have time to look it up, no problem. I'm just curious since it's my first. Many thanks! image

    Don't have a reference number handy, but it'll be RIC VIII (insert # here).

    Neat coin.

    Wow! you work quick imageimage Thanks!

    Don't bother with the number.. I was just looking for a rough attribution (I'm still ignorant of this stuff image ). Yeah, I dug through that pile for a minute or two and this had the coolest design despite the crack. I like it image
