Title: Hristova & Jekov, Nikopolis Addenda #1
Post by: Jochen on February 23, 2010, 03:36:34 pm
Hi!

Now I got my copy of Hristova/Jekov's monograpy about Nikopolis too. Mrs. Hristova has asked me for a similar thread for Nikopolis Addenda like we have already for Markianopolis. And so here it is!

I have startet to re-attribute my coins and have now completed my Commodus coins. And here are some coins I couldn't find in the new Hristova/Jekov:

#1

A new type, at least a new die combination

Commodus, 177-192
AE 27, 12.68g
struck under hegemon Caecilius Servilianus
obv. AV - T KAI MAR AVRH - KOMODOC AV
        Head, bearded, laureate, r.
rev. NEIKOPO PROC ICT - HG  - EMO KAIKI CERBEILIA:
       River-god. bearded, in himation, nude to hips, leaning l., holding rudder(?) in r. hand and resting with l. arm on vase from
       which water flows l.
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1235, pl. XVII, 31
      b) Varbanov (engl.) 2160
      c) not in RPC online (RPC doesn't react on my emails!)
      d) not in Hristova/Jekov:
          obv. No.8.10.32.3
          rev. No.8.10.32.2 var. But no.8.10.32.2 shows a typical water-plant whereas on my coin it looks like a rudder, so that
          Pick writes: The object in the r. hand of the river-god appears as thin rod, but it should be probably a rudder; in any
          case it is not a reed as Sestini has suggested.
          BTW on AMNG 1235 the vase is below the base as on my coin

Best regards

A correction

Commodus, AD 177-192
AE 16, 3.09g
obv. AV[T KAI M AV] - RH KOMODO - [C]
        Head, bearded, laureate, r.
rev. [NEIKOPO] - PROC ICT (starting upper r.)
       Female figure, in long garment and mantle, stg. facing, head r., r. hand in puff of garment, holding in lowered l. hand
       unknown object.
 ref. a) not in AMNG
           obv. AMNG I/1, 1246 (same die)
       b) Varbanov (engl.) 2158
       c) Hristova/Jekov No.8.10.20.1 corr.
rare, S+, black-green patina

Pick: The figure is of bad work... Wether the bridle-shaped object she holds in her l. hand or wether it stands free beside the
         figure is uncertain. But probably Nemesis is meant.
Varbanov calls the figure Isis holding hydria(?)

A completely new type

Commodus, AD 177-192
AE 18, 3.1g, 0°
obv. AVT K [...] - A KOMODOC
       Head, bearded, laureate, r.
rev. [NEI]KOPOL - I - PROC IC
       Tyche, in long garment and mantle, wearing kalathos, holding in l. arm cornucopiae and in r. hand rudder.
ref. a) not in AMNG:
          Besides an AE 23 (AMNG 1239) AMNG knows two small types, but without kalathos and different
           legends.
      b) not in Varbanov (engl.)
      c) not in Hristova/Jekov:
          No.8.10.38.4 = AMNG 1239. But doesn't list a small coin with this type
rare, about VF, a bit excentric

#2 is the same as this one I believe:

http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4349/ (with a somewhat different small Nemesis at 8.10.35.1, R3).

The Isis is of better workmanship and not the same type -- second coin in this posting (HR 8.10.30.1, R9):

Thanks archivum!

Yes, the type at RPC online is the same. It's the type which Pick calls NEMESIS(?). If I write 'A completely new type' it is always limited to Hristova/Jekov's Nikopolis.

@areich:
Can you provide a pic?

A new type with reverse inscription

Elagabal, AD 218-222
AE 17, 3.20g
obv. [?] KM AV. - ANTWNIN
        Bust, draped and cuirassed, laureate, r.
rev. NIKOPO - LITWN P (from upper left counterclockwise, inverse)
       Club of Herakles upright
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1608 (1 ex., Berlin, under Elagabal)
       b) Varbanov (engl.) 2977 (cites AMNG 1608)
       c) not in Hristova/Jekov:
           H/J has this type listed under No.8.26.14.7, but not with retrograde legend
           Could be added as No.8.26.14.8

Note:
Pick writes to this coin: Because of the crude style of this coin it is uncertain wether the face of Carcalla or that of Elagabalus is meant; but the former is more probable, because the type occurs under Severus and because on the coins of Elagabalus the addition PROC I(CTRON) otherwise never is lacking.
Now I think Pick's attribution of this coin to Caracalla is not correct. It should be better listed under Elagabal:
(1) The portrait is not so crude that we see that it better resembles Elagabal than Caracalla.
(2) Behind LITWN here is clearly a P, the first letter of PROC. So the last of Pick's argument
goes astray.
(3) Varbanov's attribution is not reliable because he tooks it from Pick.
(4) The same depiction is known by Hristova/Jekov.
Therefore I think it is Elagabal and an unpublished type.

A new type or only a correction

Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 17
obv. AV KAI CE - CEVHRO.
        laureate head r.
rev. NIKOPOLIT - WN PROC IC
       Aequitas, in long garment, stg. l., holding cornucopiae in l. arm and scales in r. hand.
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1393 var. (2 ex., Löbbecke, Wizcay)
          It is possible that Pick too has misinterpreted the cornucopiae as cubit-rod.
       b) Varbanov (engl.) 2523(?)
           (cites AMNG 1393, but writes in error 'with wheel'.)
       c) Hristova/Jekov No.8.14.35.7 corr. (same rev. die)

On the attached pic it is obviously a cornucopiae in the l. arm. You can see the fruits coming out of the opening. So the deity is rather Aequitas than Nemesis/Aequitas. May be that the cornucopiae is so small and straight that it was misinterpreted as cubit-rod. Or we have indeed two different rev. types.

A new pic made with the coin in hand shows that it's actually a cubit-rod and not a cornucopiae! So this number must be deleted!

Because of the bad state it's very difficult to attribute the coin. But the legend in ex. is clear and we can recognize the depiction. It's Athena resting with raised l. hand on upright spear, and the shield stg. r. beside her. This type is nowhere listed. It's a pity that this coin is so poorly preserved.

May be a member of the FORVM has a better specimen?

Varbanov lists three variants (4122-24) based on different obverse inscriptions.
This reverse type is Type 22 in the Prolegomena (link below), the next sections of which (Types 8-23) are being prepared for uploading. I know of at least eight specimens, so it's hardly a great rarity. Here is the reverse of mine.

Not a new type as such, but they've missed the following:

obv. ΑΥ K M ΑΥ ANTΩ[NIN]
        Bust, laureate, draped and cuirassed, r.

      d) Prolegomena Type 9 (illustrated)

Hi Francis!

Thanks for your contribution. That is now #29 in this list.

The slogan 'A completely new type!' refers only to the catalog of Hristova/Jekov where this type is not listed at all. So it is in no way a statement about the rarity. Sorry that I haven't looked at your work about Eros. This is valid too for the works of Pat Lawrence or Malcolm Megaw. And I have no access to SNG or RPC (except RPC IV online).

Best regards

Post by: Britannicus on March 11, 2010, 12:51:21 pm
P.S. (and I apologize if this is off-topic for an "Addenda" thread): The Hristova/Jekov rarity assessments, although more realistic than Varbanov's, are not always very convincing. For example, for the two "Eros with reversed torch and bow" coins that they list, 8.14.16.1 (Septimius Severus) and 8.22.16.4 (Geta Caesar), both rated as "R5" (over 50 specimens known), I know of only 3 and 7 specimens respectively. As well as adding new types to the next edition, they might consider an overhaul of the rarity assessments.

Now my copy of Nicopolis ad Istrum has arrived too, thanks to Pat Lawrence.  I will add any anomalies to this thread as I work through my coins - of which I have many fewer than Jochen or Pat.  Coins I post here might have been posted elsewhere too, but it will be useful to see them again in this context.

This is the first coin I checked:

And here's another, which both is and is not in Hr/J.

(https://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/coins/pics/caracalla/caracalla_058.jpg)

Caracalla. 17mm, 3.19g
Obverse: (...) ANTΩN  Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Reverse: NIKOΠOΛIT ΠPOC ICTPON  Crescent moon with a dot at the tip of each arm, containing one large star and two smaller ones.

Ref:

a) Not in AMNG.
b) Not in Varbanov I (English).
c) See Hristova/Jekov 8.18.48.8.  Although the book gives the legends differently, this is the same reverse die and it might also be the same obverse, though that is not so certain.  The book has transcribed the reverse legend incorrectly. Although the illustration is not completely clear, you can see on it the last two letters of the reverse legend ON.

The obverse is clearly the same type, seen from directly to one side, with the shoulder clasp centred.  The first part of the legend is off the flan on my specimen. The second part lacks the terminal O given in the book, and I suspect this is is lacking on the illustrated coin also. But I can't see the shoulder clasp in the illustration, so I could be wrong about the obverse.  If this is not the same obverse die as my coin, I think mine must be new.

So, a correction is needed to the book.

I would call it H/J No.8.18.48.8 corr. I think there are much more corrections. Very often the written legends don't fit the legends on the depicted coins.

This obverse die is similar to the one ilustrated at 8.14.5.4. but is not identical. Here are some of the differences:
- If Hr/J have described the obv. legend of their die correctly, the obv. legend of this die is different.
- The last C of the obv. legend is larger on this die, and closer to the end of the neck.
- The shaft of the letter P on this die points directly at the beard.  On the illustrated die, it points above the beard.

Indeed, this is new, not in AMNG or in HrJ.  Would you like to put it in the Album, complementary to this list, containing only the small, anonymous (no governor's name) coins? http://picasaweb.google.com/slokind/STUDYNicopolisCoppersSmallBrass#
The idea is that the small ones are a class apart, and an album where they can be compared with one another can be useful.

Since Pick listed this one (but only as on the market a century ago), and Varbanov copied the listing (without an illustration), I went through the whole addenda so far to make sure it hasn't been listed before.  I'll post it now but get back to add the weight, etc., immediately.

Two new dies.

Caracalla

AE 17

obv. M AVP K Λ – ANTΩNI
       Draped, bare-headed bust right, probably also cuirassed.
rev. NIKOΠOΛIT ΠP and in ex: OC ICT retrograde.
       Lion pacing right.
ref. a) not in AMNG.
      b) Not in  Varbanov I (English).
      c) These dies not in Hristova/Jekov, but see the similar 8.18.53.3 for the type.

The retrograde exergue is similar to a lion reverse die of Julia Domna, 8.17.53.1, which has a retrograde POC ICT in the exergue.  Unlike those legends which read all the way around in a circle, these two exergues would only read correctly in a mirror.  Though, on this die, all the letters in the exergue except the T are vertically symmetrical, and the T is the only character which makes this retrograde.

Are you sure these are new dies?  They look to me like the same dies as shown at 8.14.20.3, with the obv. legend AV L C - CEVHROC.  The ragged edge of the flan on your new specimen makes the base of the first V look like a K. You outbid me on this coin, but I already have the same dies on a worse specimen which I posted in Pat's gallery here:

    Regarding #117 that Jochen listed above:

obverse legend should read: AV K∙ M. AV∙ / ANTΩNINOC (sic non rho)

While the coin Jochen cites, 8.18.20.2, does compare a Caracalla / Asklepios Gallus with this unrecorded die pairing, perhaps a better comparison would be (Sept. Severus) 8.14.20.1-2 a reverse die match.  Jochen's Caracalla/ Asklepios, 8.18.20.2 (the only example I've seen of this die pairing) is a reverse match for Plautilla 8.21.20.2

In addition 2.9 gr.sounds a little light for this coin.

A completely new type for Severus. A nice surprise!

Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 29, 12.97g, 29.03mm, 30°
struck under governor Flavius Ulpianus
obv. AVT L CEPTI - CEVHROC

rev. V FL OV - LPIAN - NIK - OPOLIT PR / OC I
       Emperor in military cloak, helmeted, stg. l., holding small Nike(?) in extended r. 
       hand and resting with raised l. hand on inverted spear; r. behind him Nike, winged
       and in long garment stg. l., holding palm-branch in l. arm and crowning the
       emperor with a wreath in her raised r. hand. 
ref. a) not in AMNG: the whole type is missed!
      b) not in Varbanov (engl.)
      c) not in Hristova/Jekov:
          rev. No. 8.22.34.1 (for Geta only!)
          obv. not listed!
ex coll. Hoeft

Coins of Ulpianus for Severus are rare, in contrast to coins for Caracalla or Geta. This type was known only for Geta. Because often types were struck parallel for all three emperors it is possible that this type could be found for Caracalla too! The obv. combination of legend AVT L CEPTI and this bust type draped and cuirassed is not known.

The object in the r. hand of the emperor is not clear at all. Sometimes it is called a sword. I think a small Nike is the most probable.

For years I have tried to photograph a fine die pair for Diadumenian at Nicopolis.  It is obscured by that teal blue patina that some admire.  Here is my best attempt to photograph and to identify.  The pair is not in HrJ, since we have no idea of the obverse not illustrated.  If that has this obv. then it would be 8.25.1.2.

• Diadumenian Longinus DBe for obverse, with this reverse not known to me at the time of the ayiyoryitika page: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/ayiyoryitika/longinusdies.html
I have not yet determined which of the Megaw or HrJ numbers this die pair may be, and I have no accession number for my coin, which even now is prevented by its famous patina from good photography.
Obv legend. M OPELLI DIADOV   [--- See my DBe for rest]
Rev legend, VP STA LONGINOV NIKOPOLITÔN P[?
and in exergue ?]S IST
Megaw's NIC 4.43e may reproduce a bad photo of the same coin (he says, simply, from eBay), but that is only a guess.
HrJ 8.25.1.2 ("variant") shows evidently this reverse die, with the P alone, with ROS IST in the exergue, probably being decisive.
This coin is the only one I know, with legible photos, that testifies to the pairing of these dies.  The second, even uglier photo shows details of the reverse a little better.

A new die pair, the eagle apparently listed by Pick, no. 1282, but not by HrJ and not =V.2752; the obv. die is used with a number of other reverse dies; see http://picasaweb.google.com/slokind/TERTULLUSSTUDYGROUP#
Thanks to Petrus Elmsley for calling it to my attention.

• 13 June 2010 AE14 6.58g axis 7h  Nicopolis ad Istrum  Issued by Tertullus  Septimius Severus, laureate, bust as from behind, cloak over armor.  AV K.L.SEP.  |   [----  .  Rev., Eagle, to l. regardant, holding wreath in beak, its r. wing half raised, standing on garlanded altar.  VPA OOV TERTULLOV, [NIKO--- PROS I], judging from unclear traces.  This die pair not in HrJ 8.14.1.—.  Nor is this reverse for Julia or for their sons.  But this does seem to be a likely double die-match for Pick, AMNG I, 1, no. 1282, who prudently writes Basis instead of altar.  Even his specimen weighs only 8.05g, but mine is very worn.  Not = Varb. I, no. 2752 "with wings spread". but whether it is the one in the Blancon list, I must check.

Image is "clickable".

Regarding Addenda #53b

Reverse legend should read:
Rev: VΠ AVP ΓAΛΛOv /  NIKOΠOΛIT ∙
Ex:  ΠPOC I

That terminal micro-upsilon for Gallou looks like it was squeezed in by the engraver because he couldn’t fit a full sized letter.  It appears to be an incidental mark on the specimen Jochen posted but one is able to see it clearly on the coin attached.
I saved this image from coinarchives.com and unfortunately did not record what auction it came from. I could not find it in acsearch.

#152 Caracalla Tyche references:

Double match for SNG München #415, Tafel 16. Pick recorded this coin as AMNG 1556 abweichung 3. The specimen at München is worn so Pick could not read the complete obverse legend and left it incomplete. The cataloguer of SNG München erroneously gives the legend as AV∙ K M∙ AVP∙ / ANTΩNIN but it should read AV∙ K M∙ AVP∙ / ANTΩNEINoC (that last lunate sigma is often difficult to read on this die).

Jochen is correct to point out that this coin is not represented in Hr/J.

         The whole type is missed. So it seems to be a new type for Marcus Aurelius. The
          rev. with Isis is known from Antoninus Pius HrJ No. 8.6.30.2
ex coll. Hoeft

The coins of Marcus Aurelius from Nikopolis are rare at all. HrJ has listed 6 types for Marcus as Caesar and 1 as Augustus. After #109 in this thread it is the 2nd new one!

I will provide a better pic when I have the coin in hand.

I think #192 is a double match for Hr/J 8.14.8.2 One is able to discern two partial letters before Dionysos' head (ΓAΛΛXX), then the pinecone tip of thrysus, next ethnic, sic no break in ΓAΛΛOV and thus not a new variant. JPW

You are right! I have misinterpreted the upper pine-cone as V of GALLOV. Corrected.

Jochen, regarding #214, except for the obverse die, the reverse has nothing to do with Pick 2053 - Varbanov not reliable - his 4178 - English is a mistake reference.

Can refer to earlier Pick coin for obverse die.

Post by: archivum on November 01, 2010, 11:37:44 am

This coin was sold with a wrongly transcribed reverse legend (NIKOΠOΛΙ ΠPOC ICΤPO); even so I believe it is probably from Nikopolis ad Istrum, 3.7g, 19mm, again with ... CE CEVHPOC and the simple NIKOΠOΛΙΤΩΝ legend, though on my coin the Ω is inverted.  But has anyone seen a left-facing Septimius portrait on any small-module Nikopolis issue?  It appears not to be in Varbanov or Hristova-Jekov (also no such issue recorded for Hadrianopolis or Markianopolis or for any -polis city in Isegrim). Thanks for having a go!

Here is an exciting new die combo:

Ob: ΦOVΛ ΠΛ - AVTIΛΛA CE
Draped bust right
Rev: VΠ AVP ΓAΛΛOV  NIKOΠO
Ex: ΠPOC I

three story city-gate

cf. rev. Hr/J 8.14.46.4 p. 127, which is a different die from 8.18.46.9. I never noticed that before! Interesting that two different dies of this rare type were made.  So Plautilla paired with the rev. die of Sept. Sev. not Caracalla.

For #256, see also #87, the same dies, which suggests that the apparent dot in the reverse legend might just be a flaw in the die or the flan.

Thanks for the comment. This type is now listed in Hristova/Jekov Nicopolis (2nd ed., advance copy) as No. 8.14.22.5 but illustrated by different specimens. We are now looking through this edition for errors and overlooked types. Then in the near future it will appear on the market, even though in a limited number (c. 50 ex.)

Another two examples of #222.  They appear to be double die matches.  I wondered about the obverse die match at first because of the apparent difference in the front of the drapery, but too many other details match for there to be doubt.

The first is mine, and is 16x17mm, 3.02g; the second is from Forum's database and is 17mm, 2.634g.

Hr/J-; AMNG-; Varbanov (E) I -

I don’t think Varbanov was aware of this obverse die when he published his monograph.  The most common pairings for this obverse die seems to be with a gamos reverse, cf. Hr/J 8.18.34.2. and Hera, cf. AMNG 1538.

Reverse die not recorded in Hr/J or AMNG.

I believe Arminius has a double match in his collection.

Hristova/Jekov writes AVT KEC - ANTWN. But the obv. legend of the depicted coin is not readable. So my suggestion is that is has the same AV KEC as on this coin. I think I have completed the inscription on #226 incorrectly!

Hi Jochen,

I have two examples of this particular die pair and both have the D instead of the L, so it would certainly seem to be in the die, either as a mistake or as you indicate a break.

#336: an interesting rev. type, perhaps to be associated with congratulations sent by Nicopolis to the imperial family in 198 for the elevation of Caracalla to joint Augustus and Geta to Caesar.

I would read the obv. legend differently, IOVL DO - CEBACT or CEBACT[H], rather than IOVLLA.

It is not a new die combination, though it is true that HrJ did not record the B in OBINI, which was in my records that I had sent:
• 11 03 06  Æ24.5  7.22g  axis 1h. Nicopolis ad Istrum.  Issued by Tertullus.  Septimius Sevrus, draped bust to r. (Pick says with armor).  [AVT] KAI L SEPT•  |  SEVÊ[ROS PER].  Rev., Nike in quadriga, driving to r.  VPA OBINI [TERT]VLLOV [NIKOPOLEITÔN] and in exergue PROS IS[TRO].  Pick, AMNG I, 1, p.359, no. 1274.  Known to Pick from Paris, Mionnet, S. 2, 124, 399.  I think the obv. reads SEPT•, but, like Pick, I cannot be certain it isn't I.  Varbanov I (Bulg.), no. 2164, merely cites the bibliography numbers for Pick and Mushmov.
Lanz 123, May 2005, no. 661, however, is Julia's previously unrecorded counterpart, as with the pair of Haimos coins, and it settles the question of the exergue: no N at end.

Also, in the Study Album, https://picasaweb.google.com/slokind/TERTULLUSSTUDYGROUP#, see the same reverse die, cited in Lanz 123, for Julia, side by side.  And the die pairing with Julia's having the unique obv die is emphasized in my study: Coins issued by Ovinius Tertullus at Nicopolis ad Istrum: I, Earliest http://teegeeoperanobilia.blogspot.com/2011/02/coins-issued-by-ovinius-tertullus-at.html

Also, see the other uses of the Septimius obv. die in that OPERA NOBILIA page on the earliest dies and, most important, die pairings.  And the use of the Nike Quadriga die is already in HrJ, too: 8.17.9.1  Since this is the truly rare one, and it has that OBINI spelling (not that the now standard modern Greek and Slavic pronunciation of B was quite new even in the 190s), unique under Tertullus to this die, it is important to note that as usual SS and JD on these early issues share reverse dies.  The B is legible on two specimens at 8.17.9.1.

Jochen's specimen of the Septimius quadriga is the finest of that rare coin and shows the iris of Septimius's eye undamaged and well preserved, but the die is hardly confined to the Tyche pairing, and its pairings are what is important.
Pat L.
Yes, I must finish my catalogue for the Tertullus project.  It is badly needed to save persons the labor of looking in two places.

Thank you Jochen, Yes certainly not in H&J, but I know that Dr. Lawrence is always on the look out for new dies and die pairs. I had not gone through her corpus in quite some time.

Thank you

I am glad that Gordian Guy referred to the ayiyoryitika page first, since that is where discussion, lacking from every other 'source', can be found, but I would add that very easily located new photos can be found in https://picasaweb.google.com/... (https://picasaweb.google.com/102498681030579488308/SaurCoins#5347780621627131410)
which are zoomable and thus most useful for determining die identity.  I also give the HrJ reference there.  That is why I provided this extra resource.
The new coin is indeed a 12a and almost as good as the first one I obtained.  The HrJ ref. is HrJ 8.14.7.14.  Jekov had to lump several together at the last minute, but it's there, even enlarged 2:1.  The lumping together in this case is especially unfortunate (it originates with Pick's listings), since this one seems to be Tertullan rather than Gallian in date.
See, further developing this, http://teegeeoperanobilia.blogspot.com/2011/04/notes-on-comparable-small-brass-and.html  where, under group (b), it is paired, convincingly I think, with a Caracalla as Caesar; pay attention especially to the lettering as well as the early kind of Septimius portrait.
I am sorry, but no mere number, though it is still my 12a and with always the same Pick and HrJ references (and to the amateurish description in the Rousse catalogue, whence I gave this Sauroktonos die a name), is of much use unless further work, readily available, is consulted.

A long shot. Could it relate to the old  story of Androcles and the lion. Coins are known where on the reverse Eros extracts  a thorn from a lion’s paw.
Of course it's not easy to identify those blobs with Eros.

Those coins that show this scene show it clearly.  Why should Eros be a small unidentifiable blob?

This coin was difficult to attribute. The solution was the remarkable obv. portrait, which was found on HrJ (2011) 8.10.13.2 for Nikopolis and asiaminorcoins.com 2/21 but misattributed as Marcus Aurelius to Metropolis/Ionia. Both coins are from the same dies. So I had the opportunity to complete the obv. legend which is remarkable too.

The obv. legend of HrJ (2011) No. 8.10.13.2 (M ANTWNEINOC KOMODOC) should now be corrected to M AVR KOMODOC ANTWNEINOC.

Hi Curtis!

Thanks for the hint. I have looked at these 2 types too, HrJ (2011) p.123, 8.14.38.21. But Mrs. Hristova writes Фортуна
ляава, that is 'Fortuna left', and I think she is right.

The countermarks are similar to those on HrJ 8....1. The N of NIKO is a bit different. Here it looks serpent-shaped with rounded angles.

The underlying type is different. It is Septimius Severus too, but whereas HrJ 8....1 shows on the rev. a river-god leaning l., here it is a standing male(?) figure, possibly the emperor.

The coin depicted in HrJ is very worn. So the rev. legend couldn't be read clearly. It looks like NIKOPOLIT PR.

Regarding #473, if Hristova/Jekov (2011) 8.21.32.1 is the attached coin from my collection then it is a double match.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=62648.0

N.B. the unusual orientation of the rev legend and the obv die wear on the epsilon at 4 o'clock.

In reply to inquiry:
No, I have none with that obverse which are that near Mint.  I'm almost suspicious, but wouldn't say so from a photo.  HrJ sent me notice last year of a slew of perfect purported Caracalla, last years (Quintillianus), that they had seen in multiples and that proved to be fake, so I'm more untrusting than I used to be.

Brown patina;  letters in crude style
 
Obverse die match to ΓAΛΛ Heracles. First example I have come across of one of these HP ligate obverse dies with a ΓAΛΛ8 reverse.


AMNG -; Varbanov (E) -; Hr/J -; New reverse type for Gallus, no other recorded Hygieia sola.

The OV ligature is quite clear on my coin.  Jochen's clearly is only ΓAΛΛ (sic new rev die)

N.B. The  ΓAΛΛ abbreviation is rare and observed in the first Heracles rev in the attached thread with this same obv die. Interesting!

Your coin is depicted in Hristova/Jekov (2011) as No. 8.14.21.4. And it is really a ligate OV. Thanks for the contribution.

A new die combination

Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 19, 3.12g
obv. AV L C - CEVHROC
       Laureate head r.
rev. NIKOPOLI PROC ICTRO
       Full moon with 1 star
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov (engl.)
      c) not in Hristova/Jekov (2011):
          rev. No. 8.14.48.17
          obv. e.g. No. 8.14.53.7 (lion)
vindobona-num, E-Bay, June 2012

Because the coins depicted in HrJ are very worn it is well possible that there is a coin with AV L C too.

Best regards
