Any chance of reading more off of the obverse legend?

Reverse : (ACKAI) [x x x x ] N or H   and the other side of axe I E ( I guess these 3 letters  PAI) pi O

Obverse : (I guess these  AVT) [ x x x x ]AKAI (P) [ x x x ] AN

() : I guess

[] : I cant read and x quantity not exact number of unreaded letters

pi : pi sign

Yes its very hard ... Thank you very much for your interest indeed..

     Mint seems to be Hierapolis in Phrygia, rev. Apollo Lairbenos holding branch and double-ax.
     That mint often begins ethnic at 1 o'cl. as on your coin, and the same god appears e.g. on a coin of Nero at that mint, BM 105 pl. 31.6 (here holding patera and double-ax).
     Obv. looks very much like Clodius Albinus, a very rare personage on provincials.
     In a brief search, Cohen, Sear, Aulock, BMC, Berk photofile, I have been unable to confirm that this mint is known to have struck for Albinus.

Orion,
     I am not recommending anything to you at all; just conveying to you and the group as much as I've been able to find out about your coin!
Yours,
Curtis Clay
