Bronze Follis

Obverse might be a female.
Reverse might be a deity with a few letters.
Thank you for helping me.

My guess, not knowing size or weight: Otacilia Severa from Tarsos

It's hard to say if a coin is so worn, but it might be a die match.

Thank you Arminius and Shanxi.
It is AE30 so Otacilia Severa from Tarsos looks like a match.
Thank you!

Can you suggest a resource to help with translation of legends?
My usual sources are not helping.

The letters in the link are mixed up:

On the left side: AMK: The First, the Biggest, the most Beautiful

On the right side: ΓB:  capital of three provinces, keeper of two neocorates

Thank you, Ralf.
Can you recommend somewhere online I can reference for Greek legends?
