All change! Ancient coin proves Roman emperor was real

AN ancient coin has proved that a third century Roman emperor did really exist.

Historians had previously written off Emperor Sponsian as a fictional character.

A coin bearing his name and his portrait was found more than 300 years ago. Believed to be a fake, it was locked away in a museum cupboard.

Now scientists say that scratch marks prove it was in circulation almost 2,000 years ago.
