Hello friends of undetermined material.

Hanover coin fair provided some cheap but hard to determine ancients again.

So far no results for this provincial.

Attaleia, Etenna(?), Caracalla?, 198-217 AD.?,
Æ22 (ø 21-22 mm / 8,83 g), bronze, axes about coin alignment ↑↓ (ca. 160°),
Obv.: K M ... , laureate, draped and cuirassed bust (youthful) r.
Rev.: (A/Є?)T[…]ΛЄΩN , Mên standing l., crescent on shoulders, holding phiale and leaning on scepter, his r. foot on (prow?)

Maybe some one has a clue.

Thanks

Arminius,
    I think you are on the right track.  It looks like Attaleia to me.  Lindgren III 642 may be an obverse die match to your coin.  It is difficult to say for sure as both coins have seen beter days.
