It looks like a coin from Laodikeia ad Mare to me. I will defer to the experts though.

 

I agree. And of Antoninus Pius.

Nice coin. I believe it is Laodicea ad Mare, Syria.

It has been countermarked. I think it is this one: Laureate head Antoninus Pius right, in 4 x 6 mm oval punch, Howgego 113 (156 pcs).

Here is mine that is similar, with three countermarks:

TΩN KAI ΛAOΔIKEΩN, Tyche bust left, ΘE-HΠ P in fields.

Countermarks:
CM 1: Laureate head Antoninus Pius right, in 4 x 6 mm oval punch, Howgego 113 (156 pcs).
