The city of Nysa- Scythopolis was formerly known as "Bet Shean" in Samaria. It was one of the Decapolis, the 10 cities to which Jesus Christ advised his apostles to take refuge during times of persecution. Later after the second Jewish war or revolt, the Roman Emperor Hadrian made some geographical amendments to the position of that city. Presently it has the name of "Beisan". The following coin was struck by Elagabalus at that mint. Reverse has naked Dionysus standing and putting his left hand on a small Satyr. Panther in left field. Delta - I across fields. It weighs 9.15 g. Rosenberg 43. Please post coins of that city, and correct me if I made any mistake or omitted something.
This one is actually of Gordian III, probably Barkay 85, but legend is not complete so I am not sure about Barkay number.
@Factor.. I think you're right. That's Gordian. The image of Dionysus on reverse matches more exactly with a coin of Gordian than this of Elagabalus. Moreover the weight is different than this of Elagabalus, as I could see on Wildwinds. As for reference now, it's Spijkerman 59. Also Sofaer 59. Thank you.
You are welcome. The style can vary, but this one has the date Δ-Τ across the field, which is 304, corresponding to AD 240/1. Hence, Gordian it is .
