A rev. legend variant or a correction

Elagabal, AD 218-222
AE 17, 2.28g
obv. AVT KM AVR - ANTWNINOC (WN ligate)
       laureate head r.
rev. MARKIANOPOLITWN

     b) Varbanov (engl.) 1422

     d) not in Pfeiffer
numidas, E-Bay, February 2012

A closer look at the lower coin of HrJ 66.26.21.11 shows, that it too has ANTWNINOC with the ligate WN. It deserves its own number.

A new variant and a correction

Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 21, 5.38g, 240°
obv. AV KL CEP - CEVHROC
       laureate head r.
rev. MARKIANOPO - LITWN (R very small and probably added later to correct a legend
      error)
      Tyche, wearing kalathos, stg. frontal, head l., holding cornucopiae in l. arm and in r. hand
      rudder
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 588 var.
     b) Varbanov (engl.) 739 var.
     c) Hristova/Jekov (2011) No. 6.14.38.23 var.
     d) Pfeiffer 58 corr. (writes CEVHROC - P)
coll. Pfeiffer, Nr. 58

(1) HrJ (2011) 6.14.38.23 has actually MAKIANOPO - LITWN without R. So it is a legend error. HrJ has in error written RK ligate. This should be corrected

(2) The attached coin from Pfeiffer has this rev. corrected by the die cutter by adding a small R to the rev. legend between A and K.

Thanks to Helcaraxe from the Austrian Forum, who has discovered this small but important difference.

A rev. legend correction

Severus Alexander & Julia Mamaea, AD 222-235
AE 25, 12.96g, 25.38mm, 0°
struck under Umbrius Tereventinus
obv. AVT KM AVR CEVH ALEZANDROC.IOVLIA MAMAIA
       Confronting busts of Severus Alexander, r., and Julia Mamaea, l.
rev. HG OVM TEREBENTINO[V MARKIANOPOLITWN] (HG, 1st OV, AR and possibly WN
      ligate)
      Apollo Lykeios stg. frontal, head r., r. hand over head, in raised l. hand holding his bow; r.
      a tree-stump entwined by a snake; on the l. side his quiver with open lid and arrows
      in l. field E
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) Varbanov (engl.) 1821 (same dies)
      c) Hristova/Jekov (2011) No. 6.34.7.2 corr. (same dies, but writes TEREBENTEINOV)
      d) Pfeiffer 621 (same dies)
coll. Hoeft

The end of the rev. legend on all coins I have seen is illegible. So WN can be ligate or not ligate.

This was contribution #100 for the next edition of Hristova/Jekov Markianopolis (2012). I think this is worth a note!

#152, rev. legend:

Looks to me like AP also ligate (Varb. 1821), probably also WN ligate (Blancon List 41, 488), though one would like to be able to confirm with the coins actually in hand!

Hi Curtis!

I have looked at the coin depicted in Pfeiffer, #621, which is from same dies, and you are right: AR is ligate too!

      c) Hristova/Jekov (2011) No. 6.19.6.5. corr. (writes OPOLITWN and doesn't mention the
          corrected legend error)
      d) Pfeiffer 154 corr. (doesn't mention the corrected legend error)
pic from Varbanov (engl.), p.133, #1066

The pic of HrJ (2011) 6.19.6.5 and Varbanov #1066 show both clearly that the die cutter has written MARKIANPOLEITWN with ligate NP. After that a small o was added above NP. An interesting correction of a legend error.
