Jochen:
Dear friends of Nikopolis ad Istrum!

After the sad passing away of Nina Hristova ud Gospodin Jekov, I am now the only author. But Dona-Gita Marinova, their daughter, has promised to support me in printing the books. The USB-stick with the PDF-Files of the 2023 edition of "The Coinage of Nicopolis ad Istrum" is on the way to Bulgaria.

When the first books come out of the printers, I will publish it here. This edition will be published in honourable memory of Nina Hristova and Gospodin Jekov.

Here are the statistics. The new edition contains a total of 2824 different types:

Tom Mullally:
Jochen,

I have recently noticed that many (most?) of the AMNG cross references are close but often not exact.  And when there are multiple variations but only one or two AMNG numbers, it's impossible to know which number is supposed to correspond to the HH&J number.  I hope this is addressed in future editions.

Tom
