If it's a modius on the god's head then it is Serapis.

Antoninus Pius? You could look in RPC online for coins of him, with a head of Zeus (or Serapis) on the reverse:

Thanks Andreas, My initial thoughts were as of Antoninus pius but I was not sure, now after checking on Wildwinds I think that there might be some possible matches.
my best regards.
