I'm thinking altar enclosure with antefixae at the upper corners as well, but the reverse MIGHT be a pulvinar of Juno with a wreath on the seat...
It looks like she's wearing a mural crown and that would make her Tyche or a city goddess. However, IF it's provincial and IF the obverse...
Indeed it does! Fun bit of information! [ATTACH]
I have always liked this reverse type of Nerva. I'm so happy you were able to acquire an example with such eye-appeal!
A couple more from the Uffizi Museum that @Curtisimo posted. Hadrian: [ATTACH] A different one of Lucius Verus: [ATTACH]
I picked up another coin featuring Kabeiros in a distyle temple. This makes my fourth such coin. [ATTACH] Julia Domna, AD 193-217. Roman...

"A cud on a coin is a damaged area resembling a blob on the surface of a coin. The cud is raised above the field, and it obliterates the device or...
I'd say the British Museum specimen was struck after die deterioration had occurred. You can see some cuds to the right of the column and on the...
Yeah, the coins of Aurelian were pretty ragged and ugly until his coinage reform.
Those are fun little coins, @ambr0zie! Being a Roman collector, I don't have many such things, but here's mine, which was called a trihemiobol by...
The feel good story of the YEAR!! [ATTACH]
