Initally thought this was Carus but on closer inspection I now think its Carinus, best picture I can manage, sorry.  A K M A KAPINOC CЄB
Elpis on the reverse, LB, year 2 coin (284-5AD)Not bad for $9 shipped  Becoming quite interested in these tetradrachms, in truth anything provincial, little else is interesting me these days. I may even be getting the hang of Greek inscriptions  Edited by bobbyhelmet

Nice one Bobby, the legends on these small tets can be difficult to read.

Tell me about it  The K and A are so far apart whereas the P and I are almost on top of each other. Had me puzzled for a while. |

It can't be Carus because of his short reign Alexandria minted only LA year 1 coins for this ruler and no Elpis reverse for him  Your Carinus is Emmett 4007. |

Nice coin. I like these Tets. I picked up three awhile back, very reasonably. A good type to collect. |
