The legend on the obverse has completely disapeared.

Looks like Caracalla (?) with Eros leaning on torch on reverse.

Ancient coins were struck by hand from dies made by hand, all a little different. It is important to understand this.

Also, if your coin IS Caracalla it might be from another city (e.g. Nikopolis and Markianopolis) and/or it might have been struck earlier than the one you link to.
