Howdy folks. Here's another of my lower grade coins I could use some help to identify. 27.7 mm and 9.7 gr.

The portrait looks like Commodus, though it could be Marcus Aurelius. Not sure if it is imperial or provincial. I am leaning towards provincial. The reverse would appear to be a galley type, which appears throughout this period.
I am sorry that I cannot narrow things down further.
Regards,
Martin

Yup! I agree that it is a Commodus! It looks suspiciously like #1951 Greek Imperial Coins and their Values.

There is a Nicomedia, (but AE 21) This one is BMC13.185. It depicts a galley under sail. For the reverse the nearest Latin alphabet reads: NEIKOMH. MH. NE(omega).

Sorry about the lack of a Greek alphabet keyboard!

Hope this is of some help.
