Appears to be Septimius Severus & amphora

17mm and 3 grams

Thanks

Only similar: The rev. legend of your coin is NIKOPOLIT PROC IC not NIKOPOLITWN PROC I.

Moesia inferior, Nikopolis ad Istrum, Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 17, 3.0g
obv. AV L - CEVHROC
       Laureate head r.
rev. NIKOPOLIT PROC IC 
       Volute krater
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov
      c) Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2017) N. 8.14.52.1

And please, it's not an amphora, but a volute krater. That I have learned from Pat Lawrence (slokind)!, whom I missed so much!

Best regards
