An ancient gold coin proves that a third century Roman emperor written out of history as a fictional character really did exist, scientists have said.

The coin bearing the name of Sponsian and his portrait was found more than 300 years ago in Transylvania, once a far-flung outpost of the Roman empire.

Believed to be a fake, it had been locked away in a museum cupboard.

Now scientists have said scratch marks visible under a microscope prove that it was in circulation 2,000 years ago.

Where Was The Coin Found?

The coin was discovered more than 300 years ago in Transylvania... land that was once part of the Roman empire.

In 1713, it was believed it to be a genuine roman coin. But by the mid-19th Century it was dismissed as a fake by lots of coin experts because of the poor design, who suspected it to have been made by forgers.

With so many specialists in agreement, Sponsian was lost to history as a 'fake' emperor.

But Prof Pearson from University College London thought this needed more investigation and approached the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow University where the coin had been locked away all this time, along with three others.

Together they examined the coins under a powerful microscope and found they were scratched, with patterns that represented the movement of coins scratching together in a purse or pocket.

This would suggest that these coins were in circulation, being used as real money to pay for goods and services, just like the coins we have today.

Who Was 'Sponsian'?

So if these coins were being used as real money, then Sponsian must be real too, right?

Researchers believe Sponsian was a military commander who was in charge of a distant roman province called Dacia.

Surrounded by enemies and cut off from the Rome due to civil war and a pandemic, its thought Sponsian crowned himself as emperor to try and protect the military and civilians living there amongst all the chaos.

In order to create a functioning economy in the province they decided to mint their own coins.

"They may not have known who the actual emperor was because there was civil war," says Prof Pearson.

"But what they needed was a supreme military commander in the absence of real power from Rome. He took command at a period when command was needed."

This theory would explain why these coins have not been discovered anywhere else.

Prof Pearson and the team behind this new discovery hope that these results will see Sponsian finally accepted into the scientific community and restore Sponsian as a true figure in history.
