Dear Nure E, Mac, & Board,

Every suggestion/theory put forward here, except for the one about Trajan, is correct!  A probable match:

Hope this helps.

Dear Mac,

What do you mean?  Your reading and interpretation of "ΘЄΟC" helped speed my research. 

We all have numismatic low days, including especially this writer.  But, like the weather, they thankfully change.  They are partly what makes numismatics interesting, keeps us alternately excited and humbled, and refining our skills.
