help with small provincial coin

Hello, can you please help me to identify this small provincial coin ? Using the obverse legend(letters left) I'm not able to find the emperor. The reverse is similar with one from Macedonia, Edessa : Roma seated left crowned by Tyche.

Thanks !

23 mm , 7.7 gr
obverse : AV K?IOV.. ..MEIN...
reverse: ..CCE ..YI

I know that any of the "Antoninus" emperors (AP, Caracalla, Elagabalus) used a Greek spelling with "NEIN" in it: ANTΩNEINOC. I'm not sure about "MEIN" though.

 

The reverse looks like it is Victory left crowning the emperor seated left holding Nike.

 

IOV is the "first name" of Philip II, sometimes like this in Greek AVT K M IOV ΦΙΛΙΠΠOC but that first AVT K can just as often be AV K too. The ΦΙΛΙΠΠOC doesn't really work though.

 

Maybe this of Maximinus:

Sagalassos in Pasidia has CCE in it's Greek spelling: CAΓΑΛACCEΩN. Could the reverse legend start at 2 o'clock and end more towards the CCE at 10-12?

 

Good call with Maximinus! And Edessa might be spelled like this: EΔECCEIΩN or EΔECCEΩN

 

Like this reverse of a Gordian III, EΔECCEΩN:

Thank you both for your help @Justin Lee and @PeterB !! I saw the strange letter before the IMEIN , now I understand is our latin ''X''
Is my first Maximinius.
AV K Γ IOV OVH MAΞIMEINOC

 

Just wanted to pipe in and say that was some neat detective work!
