  I cannot make out the legend, but the Roman coin looks like it is from the reign of Hadrian, about 50 years post 70 AD.

  Silverpop, what is your primary focus in your collection? Do you collect anything which catches your eye or do you have an area that you really are trying to finish?
  
  Nice coins.
