Next up on my list of coins that show promise but have me stumped:

Obverse:

Bareheaded portrait right, reminds me very, very much of Tiberius
Ae-17----Tiberius?

Reverse
Figure standing, holding lituus (?) and something hanging from right hand. Looks like a second bareheaded bust was overstruck on the reverse
Ae-17----Tiberius?

If this is indeed a Tiberius (I could be way off base), it would have to be a provincial or maybe a semis. Searched the whole Wildwinds page on tiberius, and couldn't find anything. Based on the style, I am guessing this is at least Roman.

Difficult to say, but that nose looks more like Nerva's than Tiberius.

I suggest that one squints strongly at the picture on the screen, a more definite form of the Emperor's image can be formed in your vision.

My opinion? Pehaps Tiberius, but if it is, it of of a Roman colonial style.
