I don't believe it's in Latin. I think it's a Greek-language Roman provincial coin. Looks like Marcus Aurelius or Commodus by the portrait.

Is it silver or bronze? How big is it and how much does it weigh?

 

It's bronze, 23 mm across. weigh 8,87 g

 

Roman provincial then.

 

If I have to guess, it's Marcus Aurelius. But it is only a guess.

 

This is the only one I found so far - it's a Claudius II from Antioch.

 

The portrait style is all wrong to be CII unless there is a provincial I'm not aware off (very possible).

 

The reverse is clear DIANAE C. Greek would not use a D but a delta. There are Colonial coins that used Latin but the vast majority used the name of the colony on the reverse rather than a descriptive legend so this exception should be easy to find. The right side legend may be COM ANT and Commodus fits the face. I have not seen the coin. My guess is Cremna like this Septimius but a Commodus variation???

I would suggest summitting this to the Ashmolean Museum and see what they say. It is at least a rare coin they would like to see and could be something that adds to the next RPC edition. They know of six but their photo is no better than yours.
