That's a silver antoninianus. Which Roman Imperial emperor I cannot say because I can't make out the letters well enough unless you have a photo of the coin that is closer to see more detail, as well as less background. Here is a scan of a coin I have Gordian III to show you what I mean.  |

I believe your coin to be:
Philip I AR Antoninianus. IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right / ANNONA AVGG. Annona standing left holding corn-ears over modius & cornucopiae. RIC 28.
Your coin is in decent condition and probably worth around $20-$25

ancientcoinguy: I don't think it is RIC 29 where Annona is standing left, holding corn-ears over a galley. I think it is RIC 28 where she is holding the corn-ears over a modius. But in either case, the value of the coin doesn't change I don't think.
BTW, welcome maxa019

**Looks again** Rats! I did not look closely at the modius and mistakenly identified it as a galley. Thanks for the correction JW!! Sorry maxa.  |
