I can see the eagle - just, but I can.

Its typical of many of the Roman coins produced at Alexandria. I dont think anyone on here is going to be able to ID from that pic though. Dont get me wrong you prob took as good a pic as any of us could but there is such little deteal to go on. Believe it or not though, I've seen worse coins ID'd.

You may have better luck with the coin 'in hand', its possilbe you could get a steer in the write direction from this link:

A lot of coins here but sometimes plodding through is the only way to do it. At the minute all I can say is it is probably Roman, probably from Alexandria and probably 2-3 century.

Sorry, hopefully someone else can add a bit more info.

I would bet BobbyHelmet is correct about the coin being Roman from Alexandria, 2-3 century. If you have a soft toothbrush, gently brush the coin to see if any of the dirt comes off easily. If you still can't see much, my earlier suggestion still holds. Soak in olive oil for a few days then try again. Sorry I can't add anything at this point.
