Not AMNG, either, where all the Athena for Gordian are standing.  For the type cf. AMNG I, Taf. XV, 29-30, which are Tomis AMNG 3525 for Gordian and Tranquillina, one that Regling calls 'Athena or Roma', and Marcianopolis AMNG 736 for Macrinus and Diadumenian, which Pick calls Athena.  Roma occurs rarely; somewhere recently we compared them.  Indeed these coins, and Regling's and Pick's descriptions, are exactly the ones brought into the discussion.
I don't see a seated Athena for Gordian listed (none is illustrated) in Varbanov (Bulg.) I, either.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for your hard work. My coin is a die duplicate of the coin posted by Arminius, but sadly not as well preserved (picture below):
