ID Help - Large self cleaned Roman

[david z]

Hi Guys,

Got this coin in a lot of 10 uncleaned Roman coins.
They came incredibly encrusted and being a novice, I had some trouble cleaning.
Think I made a bit of mess out of it.
Cant make out much from the Obverse but some of the lettering is readable.
The reverse clearly reads SC so i know that this in fact roman.
Style is different to any of the late empire coins I have so I think this may be early Empire

Other than that not sure were to start with this one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi david,

I see "...CLAVDIVS..." on the obverse.

Could the reverse be Spes?

Hi david,

The reverse may be Libertas, like this coin (first coin):

Hi Meepzorp,

Thanks for getting back to me.
Yeah you are right. It does look very similar to you the first coin on that link.
Looks like a CLAVIDIVS for sure. Thanks!
Your coin is a much better example though. :-)

Reverse does appear to look right
