Assistance with an unidentified Perseus type

[Samaritan]

I have been struggling to identify the reference to this Perseus/Medusa type. The obverse seems like it is Domitian (in a classical Augustan style). Moreover, although the reverse is clearly an ode to Perseus...the style of this Greek Hero looks a bit more like the standard emperor image (perhaps a melding of the classic tail with Domitian as heroic emperor?). Regardless, I am unfamiliar with this particular mint. I have tracked quite a few Perseus types to include:
1) Cilician types (Tarsus) - Anonymous (time of Hadrian), Gordian (multiple types), Maximinus I (multiple types), Balbinus, Pupienus, Trajan Decius (multiple types), Trebonianus Gallus, Valerian I (Aegeae) Philip II, (Coropissus) Maximinus, (Anemurium) Maximinus I
2) Alexandria (Antoninus Pius)
3) Iconium (Anonymous - Zeus), GALATIA, Claudiconium (Claudius), Lycaonia (Hadrian and Gallienus)
4) Argos (Lucius Verus, Caracalla)
5) Phrygia, Sebaste) Caracalla   
6) Deultum (Macrinus, Diadumenian, Gordian, Tranquillina, Philip I)
7) Paultalia (Caracalla)
and then a variety of Greek types like those from PAPHLAGONIA, Sinope and many other locations...all that said, this coin couldn't pass for any of them so I am currently stumped.

Any help in attribution or finding a similar type at previous auction here would be great! Also, any solid guesses on the legend would also be of help.
Thanks!

I can find nothing in RPC I & II, including both supplements, using the index of reverse types.  The size might help someone.

It's likely this one, of Trajan, as listed in Isegrim; though the portrait does not look much like Trajan, the specimen in SNG France has the clear legend ... NEROYAS TRAIANOS:

Excellent. Can't believe I didn't see it in that reference...but perhaps it's old age. Thanks again, I am sure in looking at the coin that you have solved the mystery for me.

   Is it just my eyes – or is that an obverse die match?

Looks like it to me too.  As for snagging that reference, I believe it was actually mis-entered in Isegrim, to the point that the search-strings vt: portrait man l ra: harpa and vt: portrait man l rt: perseus.* both successfully led to the type we were after while the search-string vt: portrait man l rt: perseus did not.  (".*" signals a wild-card extension in Isegrim, but what's the extension completing a free-standing "perseus"?)  If a type ought to show up in Isegrim, it generally will, but it may take a few variations on your search-parameters.
