    On the bright side, there's a pretty clear victory on one side. On the down side, there are three random things (standards?) on the other.
    Nicaea coins often have those standards, but I haven't seen one with that doesn't have an emperor's bust on one side.

    Rev(?): Three standards (?). Unidentified letters in exergue.

    It's a Roman Provincial of the first century AD from the city of Philippi in Greece, like this one from Wildwinds: RPC_1651.jpg

    On a side note, the wear on the obverse made it look like Vespasian, you know his frowning look & distinct nose and all!
