Roman denarius ID please

Hello,

I was wondering which coin we got here. Victory in right hand on the reverse but i can't read the legends.

Thanks

My take on it is:


Commodus Denarius

Reverse:  TR P VII IMP IIII COS III P P, Roma standing left holding Victory & spear

The obverse legend seems hard to match from the photo alone.


Similar to this I believe:

Try adding a 2nd photo of the obverse to see the legend with different lighting perhaps.

Obverse may read: M ANTONINVS CO / MMODVS AVG.
