I would like to add the following coin to the
thread, even though it is not unpublished, stricty speaking. It is
still very uncommon and I have found only one example.
AE,
Caracalla; 198 – 217; 1,55 g; 14 mm.
Av.: [ANTΩNE]INOC AVΓO; laureate
head right.
Rv.: NIKA – IEΩN;
snake emerging to the left from half-opened cista.
Rec. Gen. 443, Pl. LXXVIII, 25. Imh.-Blumer –.
SNG Righetti –.SNG Leypold –
As far as it is possible to be sure, this one is from the same
obverse die as the
Rec.
Gen coin.
It ist also one of the smallest of
Nikaea as far as I can see.
