Not Roman, or Byzantine.  It could very easily be Spanish (or at least a copy of a Spanish coin).  The designs on both the obverse and reverse are very similar to the designs on to Record ID: IOW-F28953 on this page :

  a coin minted during the reign of Isabela and Ferdinand and found on the Isle of Wright.   (see also Record ID: WILT-8D37C4 on the same page---another Ferdinand & Isabela coin with the same design).

"Copy of a Spanish coin of Ferdinand and Isabella
Because of its historical significance this coin is copied quite extensively. This Real (arms/arrows tied) should be silver and not gold in color. The casting looks very poor."
