Aeolis, Elaea, but hard to say which emperor

Thanks shanxi,

Could it be that it's not an emperor on the obverse? But the head of a bearded Heracles.

Then it could be this one.

Elaia, Aeolis, AE, semi-autonomous issue. ca. AD 172-192. 1.81 g. Bearded head of Herakles right, club behind shoulder / EΛAITΩN, tall basket or vase with two corn-ears and a poppy. Mionnet Supp. VI, 180; Paris 284.
