Roof Tile - LEGIO XXXA Roman roof tile, or brick, bearing "XXX VV".
This is part of the stamp LEG XXX VV from Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix.
This tile fragment was found by my son in a ploughed farm field at Carnuntum.
Legio XXX VV was never stationed at Carnuntum but was stationed at Brigetio (the next legionary base downstream on the Danube, now Komarom, Hungary) 103 - 118 AD.
Other tiles from Legio XXX VV have been found at Carnuntum, including one in the collection of R.F. Ertl, and thus tiles must have been shipped upriver from Brigetio to the larger base and town at Carnuntum.

Roof Tile - Legio XIIIIA Roman roof tile, or brick, bearing "G XIIII".
This is part of the stamp LEG XIIII GMNI from Legio XIII Gemini.
This tile fragment was found in a ploughed farm field at Carnuntum.
Legio XIIII was stationed at Carnuntum from 118/119 to the 4th century AD.
Note that while some tiles have been found with XIV for 14, the vast majority use XIIII which was more common for 14 in the Imperial era.

BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT STYLE!
I can not understand why the coin was graded as gVF only - there are no any visible traces of circulating.
