Here's an interesting coin from Bizya. There are only ~8 in ACsearch, this one included.

THRACE, Bizya. Hadrian
117-138 CE
Æ 24 mm, 9.5 gm
Obv: [AVTO TPAIAN] ΑΔPI ANOC KA[ICPA CЄB]; laureate bust right, slight drapery on far shoulder, thin strip of drapery on near shoulder
Rev: [BIZ]YH[NΩN]; banquet scene: man reclining left on klinè; at his feet is seated a female figure, with right foot on stool, extending left hand toward (or feeding?) a coiled serpent erect before a second stool; to left, youth standing facing, head right; to right, forepart of horse left
Ref: Jurukova 8 var.; RPC III 732.7 corr. (from a similar CNG coin). Rare.

Per CNG:
"This coin depicts an interesting scene that was repeated by two other emperors and was obviously of great local significance. While sometimes thought to depict the local myth of King Tereus being served the corpse of his son in revenge for his crimes against his sister-in-law, the serpent or serpent-entwined staff beneath the couch has led others to identify the central figures as Asclepius and Hygeia. A fuller understanding of this scene unfortunately eludes us."

Looks like I missed a better one in a CNG auction this month. It was still pretty rough though. Of the eight I found in ACsearch and CNG, here's the best one by far (image included so you can see all the details missing on my coin ):
