    Is it Trajan Decius? or Philip?

    On the obverse legend there is ANTONIN

    Which is short for ANTΩNINOC. So, it's not Trajan Decius or Philip I or II.

    Starting with Antoninius Pius and all the way but probably not later than Elagabalus. I suspect that the coin might be Caracalla.

    What legend I can see looks like ESMΛ(A) ANTONIN.

    Caracalla seems right...now I need to search deeper..it is from Asia Minor...that is for sure..

    To narrow it down a little more I think it's using Latin letters instead of Greek letters. I can see "OL" on the reverse which might be "COL", colonia or colony for short.
