Moesia inferior, Nikopolis ad Istrum, 10. Commodus, HrHJ (2018) 8.10.01.06 (plate coin)
|
Commodus, AD 177-192
AE 28, 11.71g, 27.61mm, 195°
struck under governor Caecilius Servilianus
obv. A - VT KAI MAR AVRH - KO[MODO]C
laureate head r.
rev. NEIKOPO PRC ICT.HG - E - MO KAIKI CERBEILIA (TR ligate)
Zeus, in Himation, nude to hips, enthroned l., resting with raised l. hand on sceptre and
holding patera in outstretched r. hand; left before him eagle stg. l., head turned r.
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1231 var. (has CERBILEI)
b) Varbanov (engl.) 1230 var. (= AMNG 1230)
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) No. 8.10.1.6 (plate coin)
F+, apple-green patina
On an ex. from Sofia between P and ICT are surely only two letters; wether it should be read PRO or POC is doubtful (Pick). Here we have the same situation but we can read PRC IC for sure. But then however follows another letter looking like a P before the legend is continued with HG. It can well be a ligate TR!
