Antoninus pius perhaps? ric iii 734a

Maybe not after closer looking better wait for someone more experience

 

Your coin is from Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem). Obverse is probably Elagabalus.

 

I can never recall a bearded Elagabalus. Here's a raw scan of the coin .It might help.

 

I'm just guessing, but could it be Macrinus minted at Laodikeia in Syria BMC 97?

 

Bing's:

Many places and rulers used the type. Can you match any legend bits?

Sorry, got ahead of myself.

 

Reminded me of this reverse. Asearch example:

 

Thanks to all of you. I tend to Macrinus, without excluding Antoninos Pius.

 

FYI - as was pointed out to me - for future reference - BIG is not always best, especially when using photographs to attribute something. ( I don't know why people blow pictures up so big that you can't make out the image clearly.) You can see how the smaller photo has a clearer image than the larger one. Images of around 400 pixels, or 4 inches are best. (8 inches for the side by side photos.)
Something to think about.

 

Does not you browser display the larger images reduced so they fit on your monitor? Even the obverse of the OP coin which is a very large file is reduced automatically for display here and you can see full size by clicking to enlarge it. I much prefer that to the tiny reverse image. I might fault the obverse image for being fuzzy focus but that does not improve with reduction.

 

I'll reduce my images in the next threads. I remind you that I'm a beginner in digital photography. Cheers.. Lol.
