Unknown Roman Coin

(I'm pasting this same intro into all my first posts to level set. Thanks for your patience)
-----------------

Hello all,


I'm new here.  Please be kind :)

So I recently found out about auctions for ancient coins and artifacts.  I've mostly just been buying things that feel interesting or give me a good feeling.  I have always loved archeology and history, and also been a minor coin collector since childhood.

I'm not really collecting as an investment, more as a form of time travel.  I just love touching and holding these objects and imagining who may have held it when it was newer.  Having some kind of historical context to these objects is what I am mostly after. 

Also, I am strongly interested in attempting to restore everything to as close to what it looked like when it was new(er).  I don't want to destroy anything, but I also do want to be "aggressive" in the restoration efforts in an attempt to do so.

-----------------

So with this unknown coin ($120) I'm looking for

1. Any info you all might think about it.
     a. There was literally no description for it at all.
     b. It seems to be in very good shape
2. Best advice to attempt to restore it.
     a. I would love to make it shinier if possible
     b. How do I keep it that way?

Thank you for reading and I really do appreciate your time and look forward to learning more and being part of your community.

All the best,
JJ Walker
