    ... I'd like to identify this coin. It measures 19 mm and weighs 1.77 g. It is silver. Thanks for any help you're willing to provide. My Ancients focus is going to be Greek coinage.

    Nice coin! As a Roman Provincial, it is kinda Roman an kinda Greek.

    Nice coin. Sometimes provincial denarius-equivalent coins are cheaper than official ones, and if you’re interested in Greek then it’s a good way to get the best of both worlds
