OK - now down to the following:

SMTSA - Thessalonica
SMHA - Heraclea
SMNA - Nicomedia
ALEA - Alexandria
ANA - Antioch

I've discounted Sirmium and Siscia as the M in their mintmarks would be on the extreme right character wise.

'H', 'M' and 'N' can look very similar on these coins. I think you may have lost the first 'S' and what you thought was a 'H' is infact the 'M' of 'SM'.

This is about as far as I can go to be honest - maybe in hand you can cut it down further.

bobbyhelmet- Great! Thanks for all of the help. I greatly appreciate it! I think that the last two can be stricken from the list, and Thessalonica can be as well. So it is either Heraclea or Nicomedia.

a hundred of these ID puzzlers are much more fun IMHO than a perfect $200 coin that takes 2 minutes to ID

FYI, RIC wise it would be Nicomedia 110 or Heraclea 93 / 96
