Comment
JLR: looks like Corinthian sestertius with Genius or Concordia left holding cornucopia in left arm and wreath or patera in extended right hand--Domitian? Antonine, e.g. Marcus (tall, narrow head, curly hair and fillet)--cf e.g. RPC IV.1 10092 temp?? or more likely Septimius Severus (note the eye) and reverse has enthroned goddess e.g. Hera--cf. BCDPeloponnesos 1212.5, pp. 288-289 but this coin is BIG
