The bust of this obv. die is always slightly draped on the l. shoulder. Therefore the following types should be corrected:
- No. 8.14.4.7 (Athena)
- No. 8.14.9.11 (Nike with biga)
- No. 8.14.38.15 (Tyche)
This obv. die seems to be one of the rarer ones.

Moesia inferior, Nikopolis ad Istrum, 14. Septimius Severus, HrHJ (2018) 8.14.21.01 (plate coin)Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 28, 10.64g, 28.41mm, 210°
struck under governor Pollenius Auspex
obv. AV KAI LOV CEPT. - CEVHROC PER
Laureate head r.
rev. [VPA POL AVC]PIKOC NIKOPOLIT / PROC ICTR
Hygieia in long garment and mantle, stg. r., feeding snake in r. arm from patera in l. hand, and Asklepios,
in himation, stg. l., resting with r. hand on snake staff and holding l. arm at hip; between them
Telesphoros stg. facing, clad in short chiton and holding in r. hand a role
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1256, pl. XVII, 10
b) Varbanov (engl.) 2743
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) 8.14.21.1 (plate coin)
scarce, F+, glossy dark green patina

The obv. die with the legend AV KAI LOV CEP. - CEVHROC, with which the coins no.1253, 1256 and 1263 have been struck, is used too by governor Cosconius Gentianus for no. 1266. Thus it is proofed that Gentianus was the direct successor of Auspex.

It is remarkable that Telesphoros here is clad in short chiton and not in hooded cloak as usually. The meaning of the role in his hand is unknown. Therefore it is sometimes doubted that this is actually Telesphoros. For more information take a look at the referring article in the Mythology Thread
