Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help!

Diameter 14mm, Weight 3.2g, Bronze

Bearded man to right / Horse standing

My info says that the coin comes from Ilion, Troas
Not sure if the bearded man is Aeneas, I make some search but I couldn't find anything similar, not on Zeus or Herakles either

No chance that's a humped bull? I see that projection on the back of the animal, but can't tell whether it's part of the design - or a result of corrosion.

Was thinking of something like the Zeus/bulls from Tralleis - there seems to be a wide range of dimensions and weights for these:

But perhaps you're right that it's a horse...

Bob, I am not sure if it's a horse, is not that clear and the quality of the coin is not helping.
I started searching with my info for Ilion but at the same time
I was also making some search on bull and I saw the Tralleis Bulls but I was more focus on horse.
I will study it more, there is a chance to be a bull, will see.
Thank you once again for your help and ideas!!

Bob, I manage to locate the bull.
The coin is from Tralleis as you said.
Thank you once again!
