Thrace, Ainos, Poseidon / Hermes, AE29
AE29, 8.53g
obv: head of Poseidon right, monogram behind
rev: AINIΩN, Hermes standing left, holding kerykeion and purse; altar below
SNG Cop. 423-424
This type is attributed to the 2nd-1st century BC but it looks and feels pseudo-autonomous. 

there is a second, smaller coin here:

I think you're right - BMC has this type under "Period of Roman Domination", as BMC 45 with this obv. monogram and this reverse. The BMC example is about 23mm.

"Period of Roman Domination" in BMC refers to the time before BC when Ainos was under Roman influence, not to the imperial time. There is an article on these from Fritze, Die autonomen Münzen von Ainos, Nomisma IV (1909), but I don't have it.
