Ancient Roman Brothel Token Found In London

London museum coin may be Roman "brothel token"

Quote:

January 26, 2012
LONDON – A bronze coin found by a man who was looking in the mud by the river Thames may have discovered the first Roman "brothel token" in London.
The nickel-sized artifact is currently on display at The Museum of London. On one side it shows a lady lying on a couch with a man positioned behind her.
The coin, called spintria, was likely used 2,000 years ago in Roman London.

Senior curator Caroline McDonald said in a press release that there is much debate about the precise use of these Roman tokens they are widely thought to be coins that were exchanged for sex. The reverse numeral on the front of the object, XIIII, may indicate the price.
. . .
[The museum curator] believed it may be the only brothel coin ever found in the whole of Britain.
