I'll give you a hint: I believe the obverse is the goddess Tyche and the reverse is some kind of statue. I believe if you search along those lines you'll find it.

 

Will work on it ..Thanks

 

Kirk,
No pics handy right now but I have a similar Roman provincial with Geta on the obverse and a very similar reverse. Yours may be Artemis Ephesia, a very interesting godess...

I'm away from my records right now but believe yours might be from Acrasus in Lydia.

 

The reverse looks similar to the cult statue of Artemis Anaïtis from Pergamon

 

I confirmed that the reverse is Artemis..Now I need to confirm the Obverse character ..

 

The obverse is definitely Tyche

 

Bing is correct-- Artemis Anaïtis, but the coin is from Hypaepa in Lydia. You can make out a good portion of the city name on the reverse. YΠAIΠHNΩN

You can find one like it in Wildwinds.
