The only other one that I think it might be is Nero form an eastern mint?

No... but it is one of the '12 Caesars' and was minted in Asia Minor.

Interesting look for Titus, He wasn't a well liked emperor and this image kind of shows how there saw him.

This coin is one from a recent trade with Anoob and my first into collecting Greek coins.  |

I think it's a Selucid. Not sure which one though, maybe Antiochus VII Euergetes?
