I have this one which I think is fake so I'm on the lookout: O: IMP C M AVR CARINVS NOB C, radiate and cuirassed bust right. R: VIRTVS AVGG,...
Wasn't Olbia outside the Thracian area?
I've always found it very odd that the Greek or Anatolian pre-coins were not collected as commonly as the Roman, Celtic, Chinese or the north...

Thank you, everyone! That's definitely Florian from Orange Julius' post and IMP C M AN fits what I'm seeing. Somehow, I didn't even think of...
