Silver roman coin

Portrait of hercules wearing a lions head

4 wreaths 

i think ruler is Pompey Magnus 

Diameter 19mm

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Please, no plastic and ALL the dimensions. Too difficult to do, then don't ask?

It doesn’t strike me as fake from the images, as for which coin - no idea!

 

The last time I had a Roman coin it took me about 2 days of just looking through the Roman coins to find it, I used dimensions to narrow the search but it wasn’t there, I found one similar and put in a date range from that period which gave me a whole lot of searching to do. Mine weighed less than recorded which is why I didn’t find it at first, and it was caked in hundreds of years of dirt which is why I couldn’t make out any script, after 2 more days of restoration it turned into a really nice bronze coin. I don’t really go out of my way to collect ancient coins, just make sure I know what I have if and when I do come across one in a lot purchase.

There are two subtypes of this, with ‘SC’ or ‘SC TAP’ behind the head. Yours is a little bit worn there, but I think it is the ‘SC’ one.
