Hi!

I have here an unknown provincial coin. The pic is bad. Anyone there who has a bit of information about it?

Thanks,
Jochen

I think it's a coin of Caracalla struck at Serdica in Thrace. Perhaps Hera on reverse. Too late in Italy to check in Varbanov now.

Thank you Luigi!

Looking at Serdica I found it. Should be Homonoia sacrifying over altar to l., holding cornucopiae, Moushmov 4877.

Regards,
Jochen

Jochen,
     Scepter not cornucopia means it's Hera as Luigi said, Ruzicka, Muenzen von Serdica, no. 131.
AVT K M AVPH--ANTWNINOC Kopf mit Lorbeerkranz r.
OVLP-IAC-C-EPDIKHC Hera mit Diadem und Schleier, l., stehend, in der vorgestreckten R. Schale, in der erhobenen L. Zepter.
Yours,
Curtis
