Help identifying ancient roman with palm leaf on reverse

jmm2562

Hello Ancient Roman Experts!

I have spent a fair amount of time trying to identify an ancient Roman specimen. I'm getting closer to a match but need help getting completely there. Here are the clues I have so far.

Obverse:
1. Maybe Diocletian
2.

Reverse:
1. Standing person ()
2. Palm leaf in lower left
3. Mint marks A on left above palm leaf and ? on lower right

Does this look familiar to anyone? I've often used https://tesorillo.com/aes/home.htm to help narrow down specimens. However, it only covers late romans. I think this may be an earlier specimen.

Thanks!

It's a provincial (the lettering is Greek and it's a thick coin) so you need to look on RPC. The obverse inscription starts ΜΑΞ so I think it is Maximian from Alexandria. Something like this but not quite https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/76578

I agree, I have one similar, Maximian minted in Alexandria, Bi-Tetradrachm

Actually I think it is this https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/76268 (see the examples lower down, like this https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coin/379942). Maximian (reign of Diocletian), Alexandria, with Elpis (Savio 2378).
