Hi, I'm new here and I just found a coin that I need help identifying. I'm not even sure it is a real roman coin, it could be a fake. It is a very small coin, the size is about 16 mm and I'm not sure about the material.
The closest match I found in the catalogue is this one, but it is hard to tell since mine is very worn:

Thanks in advance!

It would be interesting to read the reverse legend :
Pannoniae
Avgvstae
Aeternae
Pvblicae
Tropae
Parthicae
Victoriae
Brittannicae
Romae
etc...

Hello!
Yes this is a roman coin and I would say it is a real one. (To that: This coin has a very low value and would not be worth to fake it.)
Your link to the catalogue is not really right: You have a late roman bronze coin = named
Follis
From numista, this can be a possible match:

But there are a lot of types and different emperors.
Unfortunately I cannot read the legend.
