Not Sure - Gordian Perhaps

I am lost on this. It is a new type to me. I'm guessing it as a Gordian III minted in Nicaea. It was very corroded and I can't do much with it. Some help appreciated.

Looks like it. I see DIANO so it’s gotta be Gordie

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

It’s kinda neat. Most of these reversed were of Severus Alexander.
Also, is that a radiate head obverse? Very interesting

 

Yes, it is radiate.

 

Here's mine with my efforts at attribution:

Gordian III Æ 18
(c. 238-244 A.D.)
Bithynia, Nicaea
M ANT ΓOPΔ[IANO]C A, radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right / N-IK-AI-Ε / ΩΝ between three standards decorated on top with wreaths and Aquila.
RG 716. SNG von Aulock 653.
(2.17 grams / 18 mm)

 

This is pretty neat! Although Sev Alex's Nicaea issues ranged from laureate to radiate, it appears that Gordian III (at least the wildwinds examples) are 100% radiate.

 

Thanks. This is great help.
