Hi all I am fairly new and already have to thank everyone for their kindness and knowledge. I truly feel I have been welcomed with open arms.
To the subject at hand. I am pretty spot on with imperials but providentials is literally Greek to me.Your neighborhood cat needs some help please iding this local coinage from Alexandria.

Alexandra?

 

Thats what I was thinking not sure about anything else though.

 

Your guess is correct.

 

Severus Alexander?

Looks more like Sarapis to me on the reverse - https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/10234 is an example from a different regnal year?

(maybe https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/10255? –– I can't read the character on the reverse on the right)

 

@Iepto you are absolutely correct.

 

Thanks everyone so much, its been staring at me from my desk for the past 6 months reminding me of my failure to id. Almost mocking me. Lol thank you again.

 

Serapis always has a kalathos (basket) on his head.

 

Thank you again for everyone's help, found a match.
