Roman Provincial?

I recently purchased a group of "Ancient" coins that I am trying to Identify (confirm). I have minimal information that was provided for each coin, but I am having trouble verifying the information provided, and filling in the gaps. I will list them each separately for help with these.




The only information I was given with this one is that it is Roman Provincial. I was unable to match it to any listing in the catalog. The coin is possibly bronze, 9.3 grams, and 25mm. It is coin alignment.

Thank you in advance for any help with this. Colin
This may be a forgery.
What makes you think it is a forgery?
This coin has great depth (dimension - high to low points of the image). However, the low points lack detail, and that is not due to wear. Also, note the 'bubbles' on the smooth surfaces.
Without better pictures, I'm tempted to second the "reproduction" camp.

I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
If it is a reproduction, then it is an old one. I thought the pictures were pretty good. What would you like to see better? I can try to get additional photos that may help decide. At first I thought it might be a medal of some sort, but it is coin alignment not medal alignment.
I can't say for sure if the coin is a replica or not but the green smudge on it is consistent with smudge I remember seeing on old replicas of ancient coins. Replica or not I don't think it's Roman, it reminds me of Greek coins such as https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces152934.html or https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces127978.html
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
Those are similar to the coin I have. I will continue to look around. Thank you.
