Thanks, Jochen; I love this
type too -- your long note on
Euposia / Eubosia in "Coins of Mythological Interest" was very illuminating. (I think both spellings likely
had their own supporters, with different ideas about what the word principally promised, a
bit like "
Good Drinks" or "
Good Eats"!) Somewhere I have another
Diadumenian /
Euposia from Nikopolis that I must compare with the various dies now so well-catalogued on your various pages and
Pat Lawrence's. As for this newly posted
Macrinus /
Euposia,
weight / size are 13,25 g / 26 mm. I believe you're correct when it
comes to the die-break on this one; the picture I posted does not fully do the coin justice, but that
reverse legend is weak overhead on the coin itself, too.
