This one is a really nice coin, depicting a chariot with two horses driving left. I can't quite make out the driver's details, looks possibly three-headed? There is an odd field symbol with what looks like a J on its side wearing a ring. It is very similar to some coins from Saracyuse, however I couldn't find bronze ones going left, nor with the obverse deity.
Under the chariot the magistrate name seems to be "PP?TTIO".
Reverse possibly depicts Athena without a helmet? There are some odd field lines, possibly they are details, or possibly the flan was just not flat or even it could be a reused flan.
The coin is 16mm wide and 4.1g in weight.
Any help, as always, very much appreciated :)
regards

Aced it again! And I got to learn another thing; two horse chariots are called "bigas"!
Much appreciated
