Where can I find info online on Roman Bronzes?

A friend of mine has what appears to be a Roman Bronze. Coin is the size of a nickel. I would like to try to attribute him for it. Any online resources or venues that sell these coins would be great.

He found it in all places on a trail while camping in New Mexico. Coin does not appear to be a copy based upon the patina and the condition of the planchet.

I would post a photo but I can't get a clear image at all.

Obverse has an image of what appears to be a male but with long hair. I make this assumption based upon the strong nose and chin. Looks like a string of letters "CLUN" is near the rim.

Reverse has a full length image of a person with a sceptor/trident in their right hand and something in the left. Lettering looks like "LIBL" and "SKU". The rest is corroded away.

I know and he knows it is most likely not worth much but it is a fun test to see what you have.

Any help in this would be much obliged.

Thank you so much for your help. Those websites are perfect. Just not enough detail on the coin to completely verify. Part of the fun is researching.

Sounds to me it's more likely to be a British coin, either a farthing or halfpenny, from the late 1600's to the early 1800's - except the legends don't match.

Does it look like either of the top two coins on this website?

Can you post a pic of yours?

Definetely not. I have been geeked every time I take a pic and try to post. Coin has been coroded a litle and would be hard to photograph. Thank you very much for your idea.
