Moesia inferior, Nikopolis ad Istrum, 10. Commodus, HrHJ (2018) 8.10.01.08 (plate coin)
|
Commodus, AD 177-192
AE 30, 12.37g, 29.69mm, 15°
struck under governor Caecilius Servilianus
obv. AVT KAI MAR AVRH - KOMODOC
Head, laureate, r.
rev. NEIKOPO PR[O]C ICT - H - GEMO KAIKI CERBILEI
Zeus in himation enthroned l., resting on his sceptre and holding in outstretched
r. hand patera; left at his feet the eagle stg.l., head turned r.
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1231 var. (different legend break on rev.)
b) Varbanov (engl.) 1230 var. (= AMNG 1231)
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) No. 8.10.1.8 (plate coin)
F+, brown patina, slightly rough
HrJ writes NIKOP PROC, but I think it is NIKOPO PROC where the O of PROC is blocked. Otherwise the big space before C ICT can't be explained.
There are several different variants of this type. They are due to the sloppy making.
