This coin was sold with a wrongly transcribed
reverse legend (NIKOΠOΛΙ ΠPOC ICΤPO); even so I believe it is probably from
Nikopolis ad Istrum, 3.7g, 19mm, again with ... CE CEVHPOC and the simple NIKOΠOΛΙΤΩΝ
legend, though on my coin the Ω is inverted. But has anyone seen a left-facing Septimius
portrait on any small-module Nikopolis issue? It appears not to be in
Varbanov or Hristova-Jekov (also no such issue recorded for
Hadrianopolis or Markianopolis or for any -polis city in
Isegrim). Thanks for having a go!
