    If you show the reverse, the answer might be more clear. Not all were used by both. Of course, since this is a Provincial, it would help us name the city which also could help.

    Ditto on Decius. Try these out!

    Hint: For the most part they are in alphabetical order.

    Incredible brother DS. I searched and believed to have found.I clicked on the site before going to bed. Here's what I found.
    The coin seems to have been struck in Rhesaena in Mesopotamia. The reverse could show Tyche standing, holding cornucopia and pouring liquid on altar to left. There's also a silhouette of an eagle to left with a palm branch. BMC 24. Hope I'm right. Here are 2 shots. DSC00132 (1).JPG Decius Tr R     Rhesaena.JPG
