    Despite the fact that the face on obverse of this Roman coin is not strange to me, and though visible enough the Greek legend is there, I couldn't identify the name of this Emperor. The reverse shows a temple with Tyche being inside, while river god Orontes is swimming at her smooth feet. The coin weighs 20.22 g. Please try to guess.. EmprTemp O.JPG EmpRTep R.JPG

    Thanks TIF and MZ. I found SNG Cop 295. BMC 665. Butcher 504 c. Wildwinds show 3 examples which weight ranges between 16.6 and 17.8 g. Mine weighs 20.22 g. That's another example.
