On the front there seems to be an eagle at rest to right (it is hard to see...) with a sort of crescent under beak. Inside the crescent should be a star (?). On thee obverse is a male head to the right. It could be Zeus or Hephaestus, but I'm not sure. A clear D appears over the head (DIOS ?). All the stuff remind me some Bruttium coin, perhaps from Kroton. Here follow a 3 images per face, with different focus. Front: Obv. Any help? Report this Post to the Staff

There are other stray pellets as well. But any letters are really hard to pull out. I have seen a lot of Septimius Severus and a few others with crescents and stars from that city, so I am probably biased. But seeing a lot of them might mean the coin is common enough to be a provincial like this. Report this Post to the Staff
