A ver que te parece este bronce. Corresponde al periodo de dominación romana de Siria en tiempos de Marco Antonio:



Antioch, Syria, 41 - 40 B.C., Time of Marc Antony, Labienus and Pacorus

About the time this coin was minted, the Parthians led by Quintus Labienus and Pacorus I attacked Syria, which was under Marc Antony's authority. Quintus Labienus was the son of Caesar's general Titus Labienus. He served under Brutus and Cassius, and after the battle at Phillipi fled to Parthia, which he had visited before as an ambassador. After several battles against Antony's governor, Saxa, they occupied the entire province and later Asia Minor and Palestine. In Judea, Pacorus deposed king John Hyrcanus II and appointed his nephew Antigonus king in his place.Labienus was killed during a Roman counter attack in 39 B.C. The territory they captured was recovered for Rome. Pacorus retreated to Parthia but died one year later in an attack on a Roman camp.

Bronze AE 27, RPC I 4223; BMC Galatia pg. 154, 25, VF, 12.158g, 25.2mm, 0°, 41 - 40 B.C.; obverse laureate head of Zeus right; reverse ANTIOXEΩN MHTΡOΠO THΣ IEΡAΣ KAI AΣΥΛOΥ, Zeus seated left holding Nike and scepter; pileus surmounted by star before, date BOΓ below (= Seleukid year 272); dark green patina.

La diferencia en tamaño puede estar justificada por el recorte que tiene la tuya.

Un saludo.
