Geta, 209 - c. 26 December 211 A.D., Nikopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior
|Nikopolis|, |Geta,| |209| |-| |c.| |26| |December| |211| |A.D.,| |Nikopolis| |ad| |Istrum,| |Moesia| |Inferior|, This is the first and only known specimen of a new type combining two dies published in H-H-J Nicopolis. The obverse is a die match to H-H-J Nicopolis 8.22.6.3, struck for Geta. The reverse is a die match to a contemporary type struck for his brother Caracalla, H-H-J Nicopolis 8.18.14.29. It is a new discovery but not completely unexpected because parallel issues for members of the imperial family were normal at Nikopolis.
