Did it have "Romam iterum magnam fac" on it? Would date it to late 4th century AD….

Yeah, I'm calling B.S. I'm pretty sure that's one of L.L. Cool J's hats from the 90's. It's called "vintage" by the cool kiddos now. :)

Jimmy "JJ" Walker wore something similar to that hat in "Good Times," only his was denim.
