    Downloaded directly from my computer. Much too big.

    Fits okay on my tablet and can be zoomed out easily. Pretty cool...did someone try and drill it?

    The marks are centration dimples which are found on some Roman provincial coins.

    Nobody knows the exact reason for them but are believed to be from lathes used on the flans.

    A flan is a cast metal disc onto which the ancient coin was struck, like a modern planchet.
