    I bought just such a very small coin with the image of 5 mm of the immperatora and other Torons image of the head is bull (sheep). Provincial coin? Prompt please what city this coin can belong to? No writing on it. image-36.jpeg image-34.jpeg image-35.jpeg

    Greek. I think it is from Kebren, in Troas. Apollo/ram's head.

    But the head is very similar to the head of the Roman emperor?

    Well, yes, somewhat... but no more so that thousands of other Greek coins.
