I've been so poor lately that I'm forced to dip into my cull bin just so that I have something to work on. I've been trying to attribute this coin, I know there isn't much left to go on but I hope theres enough for an ID. The coin is a provincial and I think it's either Clodius Albinus or Septimus Severus. What do yo think?

Looks kinda like a helmeted Greek coin to me. What's the reverse like?

Reverse is Zeus or Hades seated and there are three letters of the obverse legend CEV at 1-2 o'clock so it is Septimius. Mine is Hades but I don't see the hat on head due to centering or any trace of Cerberus at his feet so it could be Zeus. Mine is Nicopolis but other cities in the region might also have used the type.
