Moesia inferior, Nikopolis ad Istrum, 25. Diadumenian, HrHJ (2018) 8.25.05.01 (plate coin)
Diadumenian, AD 217-218
AE 26, 14.19g, 27.12mm, 180°
struck under governor Marcus Claudius Agrippa
obv. KM OPPEL ANTWNI DIADOVMENIANO - C
        bare head, r.
rev. VP AGRIPPA NI - KOPOLITWN PR / [OC ICT]
       Female figure, in long clothes and cloak, stg. l., holding patera in 
       outstretched r. hand, resting with l. hand on torch (Hestia?)
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1794, pl. XIV, 20, same rev. die (2 ex., Paris, Sofia)
      b) Varbanov (engl.) 1840 (in error called Hera with sceptre)
      c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) No. 8.25.5.1 (plate coin)
rare, about VF, nice patina

Pick: The rev. of both coins are from the same die, probably too the rev. of Nr. 1684, so that we here have NI-KOPOLITWN PR and in ex. should be added OC ICT.

Another excellent example...I think this is Demeter, there is a thread with a similar example (only with the addition of a cista) somewhere. Also is he draped and cuirassed rather than just a head?

Hi, Bacchus! The description is taken from Pick himself!
