Another Roman Temple

There's a temple on reverse of this Roman coin. I can't identify the deity within, nor can I ID the name of the Emperor or Empress on the obverse. Please try to guess.Thanks..

Looks like Geta, Caracalla or Elagabalus...can't tell for sure

 

Coin is from Nisibis
Tyche with Ram above in the temple
Emperor is Elagabal or Caracalla, you can read ANT...., my guess Elagabal

 

Yes you're right to hesitate because the coin is pretty worn.

 

Antoninius Pius Sestertius 141 A.D. RIC 622 Rv Facade of the Temple of Roma

 

Portrait looks like Elagabalus to me.

 

I agree...looks like Elagabalus to me too.

 

The ΑΝΤΩN ... on the obverse identifies it as Caracalla or Elagabalus (looks more like Elagabalus to me, too). The CЄΠ ΚΟΛΩ ΝЄCΙΒΙ ΜΗΤ on the reverse locates it to Nisibis in Mesopotamia.

 

I have this provincial of Elagabalus from Seleucis and Pieria (Antioch) with a very similar portrait style. It can be tough to tell these crazy teens apart, but I think your coin is probably Elagabalus.

 

That Nisibis coin is really strange - never seen that combination before. What is its size / weight?

 

get the coin in the hand with a good lamp picture looks weird here

 

great details
