Our Story

About Roman Bronze

Roman Bronze is a UK-based specialist dealer dedicated to bringing the ancient world directly to collectors and history enthusiasts. We focus exclusively on authentic late Roman bronze coins from the 3rd to 5th centuries AD — a fascinating period spanning the Tetrarchy, the Constantinian dynasty, and the final decades of the Western Empire.

Whether you're an experienced numismatist seeking individually attributed specimens or a beginner eager to clean and discover your own coins from an uncleaned lot, we provide authentic, ethically sourced ancient coins with detailed provenance information.

Every coin we sell is guaranteed authentic. Our cleaned coins come with individual descriptions including emperor identification, mint attribution where possible, and historical context. Our uncleaned lots are carefully selected to ensure quality and variety, giving you the thrill of discovery that has made ancient coin collecting one of the world's oldest hobbies.

Our Expertise

We specialise in the coinage of the late Roman Empire — primarily the bronze denominations known to collectors as the Follis, Nummus, and the smaller AE3 and AE4 fractions. This era produced some of the most collectible and historically significant coins in the ancient world, from Constantine the Great's reforms to the final issues of the Western Empire.

Our education section offers free guides on cleaning techniques, denomination identification, and reading Latin coin legends — everything you need to get started or deepen your existing knowledge.

Ethical Sourcing

All our coins are sourced from established numismatic channels and old collections. We do not deal in coins of uncertain provenance. Late Roman bronze coins are among the most commonly found ancient coins — millions were minted across the Empire — and are widely available through legitimate trade. We are committed to responsible collecting practices and transparency about our sourcing.
