Today, Roman coins are pretty cheap, you can buy common coins in low grade for as low as $1 or so a coin (or less if you go to a coin show and buy in bulk)
Silver coins can be found for about $30-40 for a common denarius or similar denomination
In general, ancient coins have fewer collectors so even major rarities (1 or 2 known) sell for less than modern coins which might have 25-40 coins known.
Buying Roman coins (or any coin before the advent of the steam-powered mint) is much more subjective than buying a modern coin. Each die was hand engraved, some engravers had a lot of talent, expertly reproducing details in the finest of styles, others were mediocre at their jobs and still others could be called only of crude workmanship. A common coin of mediocre or poor workmanship might sell for $5, while that same coin if done in a much better style can sell for $50 or more.
