1700 year old Roman penny i got on Amazon for about $20. It is from the reign of emperor Constantine, who was the first Christian emperor and namesake of Constantinople
I can't vouch for its authenticity but other people who purchased the same coin got coins with varying degrees of erosion, which IMO establishes that they're real since fakes would be largely identical.
Also I'm told 4th century Roman bronzes like this are rarely counterfeited because they're abundant and nearly worthless.
