This coin was in a multiple lot that I won recently. No tags or description. After several days I was able to find out that it is from Philadelphia. Philadelphia or Philadelpheia (Ancient Greek: Φιλαδέλφεια), was a town of ancient Cilicia, and later of Isauria. It was located in the interior of Cilicia Aspera, in the Calycadnus valley on the river Calycadnus, above Aphrodisias. Cilicia, Philadelpheia, Pseudo-autonomous issue, 1st-3rd centuries AD 18.5 x 18.1 mm; 4.238 g SNG Levante 574; SNG Pfalz 998; Lindgren I A1571A Ob.: ΦΙΛΑΔЄΛΦЄWΝ head of Athena in crested Corinthian helmet to r.
