That´s a hard one !

Maybe this type:

TIBERIUS. 14-37 AD. Æ As ( ca. 10gm). Struck 35-36 AD. Laureate head left / Winged caduceus. RIC I 65; BMCRE 138; Cohen 22.

Thanks Arminius.  Definitely a possiblity.  I have updated the second image.  The obv legend looks like a match from what I can still read.  I am not as sure about the rev since in is so corroded.

Any other opinions...

Titus, I don't think that reverse fits.  I can defintely see hints of a rev legend.  And the obv seems to match up w/ the Tiberius Arminius suggested.  Thanks for the help.
