Roman coin [solved]

I know that this is probably impossible to indetify and not worth even trying, but I found this (presumably) Roman coin that is almost completely ruined. On the reverse it appears to be victory holding wreath and the text is unreadable. On the obverse outline of the head can be seen, but otherwise it is destroyed

A tough one indeed. But on this state, getting a rough estimate of what's it is already a big something.

That said, I've put some search filters and I got a half dozen results: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=rome&r=victoria+holding+wreath&st=147&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=300-400&i=&b=&m=np&f=&t=17-19&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&se=

I don't know if I can distinguish the face on your coin, but one thing looks certain, it's a roman bronze from the Constantinian period.

More likely to be SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE from the Valentinian I/Valens period imo.

Good call!!

But why it didn't appear on my search, what did I wrote wrong?

Anyways, that changes everything.

Here's a search with SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, your coin is surely one of them: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=rome&r=SECURITAS+REIPVBLICAE&st=147&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=300-400&i=&b=&m=np&f=&t=17-19&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&se=

You searched for victoria, whereas the database calls her Victory, and the ones you found had VICTORIA in the legend, or the figure described as Victoria - lots of coin databases are not 100% consistent, it can be a real pain where you have alternate spellings, like with a lot of deities.

It explains a lot, thank you.

It could be some of these, some coins from emp Valentinian  do look pretty similar to mine.

Also ,what could be approximate price of this coin? I mean I know that it wouldn't be a lot, but I still want to know how much is it.
