Hi all,
I have this recent acquisition but I'm in the dark about what emperor. I was told it's a first-century coin.
With Google Lens and other image-recognition tools I cannot get an answer.
Thanks for helping me out!
Tom

After a lot of digging I think I pinpointed it to a provincial coin, under the reign of Claudius, with the reverse being a turreted veiled Tyche, and minted in Anazarbus (Cilicia), modern-day Turkey (almost Syria).
I found some examples of similar coins, e.g. https://www.ma-shops.com/an/item.ph...QatH3oLDs8O3

However, the text of the reverse does not really correspond to : " #1028;TOYC KAICAP#1028;ΩΝ Γ "
I fail to read this to be honest..

This is a provincial bronze of Caracalla from Edessa Mesopotamia (213-217 AD).

I believe it's this type since the EX of ALEX is visible above Tyche's crown: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/85588
