Its looks like it's minted in copper and weighs 2.1 grams.
Can anyone identify this ancient Roman coin?

Looks like it's Licinius 1. Scroll down until you see Arles RIC VII 240 in the left hand column, Arles is the town it was minted in I think. The mintmark is S star over crescent A, maybe that meant Arles I don't know.
