worn bronze coin (woman with olive branch)

Maybe too worn out to be identified.
But maybe someone recognized the emperor or King.

The poll needs to be re-written with different questions. I know what it is, but the questions should be 'is it Roman or Greek' and or 'what is the god on the reverse'.

 

I believe that is a Caracalla from Alexandria Troas. The reverse is Apollo resting his foot and holding a branch.

 

Roman provincial of Caracalla?

A guess based on the portrait and reverse type.

 

David pipped me at the wire.

With a much better answer too.

Head on Theodosius, I am quite happy with both answers. And so is this coin no mystery for me anymore.

Caracalla, AE of Alexandria, Troas. AD 209-214. M AVR ANTONINVS PIVS AV, laureate head right / COL AVG TROAD, Apollo standing left, foot on low cippus, holding branch. Paris 264

 

That is a nice looking type. More Greek style reverse than Roman.
