Hristova & Jekov, Markianopolis Addenda II
Jochen:
I have a long close relationship with the Triassaria of Markianopolis. I am all the more pleased to have discovered a new variant that is apparently unpublished.
Moesia inferior, Markianopolis, Diadumenian as Caesar, AD 217-218
AE 26 (Triassarion), 7.99g, 25.56mm, 180°
Obv.: M OPELLION ANTWNEINON KAICAR
Bust, draped and cuirassed, seen from behind, bareheaded, r.
Rev: MARKIANO - POLEITWN
Artemis as huntress, with boots, in short hunting dress and with nebris, r., hurrying r.,
holding bow in her outstretched left hand and with her raised right hand drawing an
arrow from the quiver over her right shoulder; at her feet the hound leaping right (only
remnants visible)
Gamma in the left field
Ref.: a) not in AMNG
b) Varbanov 1314 (wrongly quotes AMNG 788)
c) not in Hristova/Jekov (2014)
d) not in Pfeiffer (2014)
e) not in Megaw (2014)
probably unpublished
This type is more common with the legend M OPELLION ANTWNEINON KAICAR with ligated NE. The E in the lower right field is the front part of the dog, which jumps to the right.
With kind regards
Jochen
