Dear friends of
Nikopolis ad Istrum!
The new English edition of
Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov, The Coinage of
Nikopolis ad Istrum, 2012, is now in the print. I
hope that the first copies can be sold in August 2012. But even now where we have about 1980 different
types in the
catalog new
types appear. An endless story!
For these new
types I open a new
thread because I think it is better not to confuse these coins with the old
thread. Here is the 1st one:
#1
A completely new type for CaracallaCaracalla, AD 198-217
AE 17, 3.82g, 16.96mm, 0°
obv. AV KEC - [ ANTWNINOC]
Bust, draped and
cuirassed, laureate, r.
rev. NIKOPO[ LI] -

ref. a) not in
AMNG b) not in
Varbanov (engl.)
c) not in Hristova/Jekov (2012):
rev. known from
Septimius Severus HrJ (2012) 8.14.48.28
coll. Hoeft
