I am hoping that somone can tell me about two coins that I have
recently bought. I no almost nothing about Roman coins and these are
the first two "ancient" coins I have bought. If they are fakes, how
can I tell, and what age are they from?

If anyone would like to see them I have photos, just let me know.

This is why you should buy the book before the coin. Specially now
days with counterfeits. Not mention you might be over pay for a coin.
I think that would suck if I went out and paid five dollars for a coin
and come to find out after doing research it was only worth 50 cents.
I know this isn't a big deal purchase, but I don't even want too think
about that happening with a thousand dollar purchase.

Yes, I would definitely be interested in the photos. Can you put them
on a website like Photobucket, Flickr, etc. and then post the link
here? That way everyone can see them and post opinions. I know a
little about Roman coins, there are other ancients fans here as well
who can help you. But without seeing the photos, we can't really say
much specific.

Perhaps they will have the image of a vagina on them! ;)

Considering that the word in classical Latin means "scabbard" or "sheath",
that is entirely possible.

The roman's probably used wood. But I would hope they were smart
enough to use fruits.
