The solution of the ex. is Certamina Sacra Capitolina Oecumenica Iselastica Heliopolitana. In total this inscription describes the holy games (certamina sacra) held at Heliopolis (heliopolitana) in honor of Jupiter Capitolinus (capitolina). The ludi iselastica were games in which the victors had the privilege of a triumphal entry into their home cities. Baalbek-Heliopolis was famous for its temple of Jupiter.

The term 'kyrios' is used mainly in the sacral area (see 'kyrie eleison') and appears only rarely on coins. Here 'kyriois' refers not to gods but to the emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. The inscription is a congratulation of the city of Nikopolis to the rulers on the occasion of the elevation of Caracalla to Augustus (AMNG p.346). This type is known for Septimius and Geta too.
