Bronze Saturn in chair left? ID help!

Hi;
This one is 19.5 mm and 9.5grm. Looks like Zeus head right / rev. maybe Saturn. Any help will be well received. Thanks,
Ray

Looks to me like it is Zeus Nikephoros (holding a Nike holding in turn a wreath)

Legend on the left of the rev seems to read ..TΡΟΠΟΛ...  probably part of MHTΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ, and would indicate it comes from Antioch.

Steve

Edit: maybe like this (I am not that proficient in Greeks however)
