Inventory #210812-08.
A lower grade but relatively larger bronze. 28 mm, 18.58 g. Ex-David Connors, August 2019.
In a bit of pop culture trivia that most moviegoing folks will already know, the cruel and megalomaniacal emperor Commodus was portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix (incorrectly beardless) as the villain in the 2000 Ridley Scott film, "Gladiator".
One doesn't too often find Roman sestertius coins inexpensively. I found this one for less than ten dollars. It is low grade but has a decent portrait. In hand, the patina looks a bit more dark brown than greenish, as it appears in the photos.
