Pick writes:"the left on a tree-stump from which a lizard(?) is jumping to him." But on this coin it is rather a branch with small round fruits.
Pat Lawrence (in 'The Pontianus and Agrippa Dies for Macrinus and Diadumenianus at Nicopolis ad Istrum"): Apollo Sauroktonos, so labeled by Pick (and Taf. XIV, 35) and earlier, though Postolakas at Athens: Achilles Postolakas, Catalogue of the Ancient Coins of Regions, Nations, Cities and Kingdoms, National Numismatic Museum, 1872, no.847, is at pains to describe what he sees: "...to one side and the other of Apollo, naked, stg. r., bending his l. knee, having his head laureate and holding with his r. hand a twig (or branch) slanting downwards, placing his raised l. hand on the little tree, stripped of its branches, stand in front of him." He, too, doubted wether we may read the elements between Apollo's torso and the tree trunk as a leaping lizard. Just as the 'Medici' Aphrodite of Agrippa's engraver is comically misconstrued, so is his Apollo Sauroktonos.

Here the rather rare legend with MARK. The type probably goes back - like the related types of the Seleucids and the tetradrachms of Magnesia in Ionia - to a statuary model; ... On coins of imperial time the typus occurs only rarely. Most similar to our type he is depicted on a coin of Ilion. A particularity of the coin of Nikopolis is that here the god stands in front of the altar (Pick).

The rev. is known for Diadumenian too. I think it is a rarer bust type of Macrinus, a variant of Pat Lawrence's type C. Pat: "That is the most beautiful Macrinus I ever saw (and my favourite reverse from a purely artistic point of view)."

According to Pat Lawrence this is the type of Artemis Rospigliosi (Paris, Louvre): The Roman copy from the 1st-2nd century AD of a Greek original possibly from a group mentioned by Pausanias (I, 25, 2) representing the gigantomachia. From the Borghese collection, 1807 brought to Paris.1 commentsJochen

Seems to be a an unknown type. Generally there are only few small types for Marinus in contrast to Septimius Severus. I think it is another type than #1

Because the river god is depicted youthful it seems to be the river Jantra, a tributary of the Istros (Danube).Jochen

Pick writes: The fact that the river-god here is depicted entirely nude earns attention as rare exception.
But it is not only clothing and attitude which distinguishes it from the next coin but the ship too on
whose prow he rests his r. hand is of a different shape; there it has the usual form whereas here it
has a high beak and a spike below. Wether we can infer that we have two different river-gods
remains unclear; unbearded are both.

One should add that this river-god doesn't hold one of he usual water-plants.

It seems to be the depiction of a local event. We know tat Severus after his campaign against the Parthians AD 202 or 203 visited the camps in Moesia and Pannonia. At this occasion he could have visited Nikopolis too and the coin could be struck to celebrate his advent...Under Macrinus this depiction returns; there was no celebration of an advent for him, but perhaps there was another unknown reason (Pick)2 commentsJochen

Note from Pick: This figure is called by Gardner Uberitas because he saw the attribute in the r. hand as purse. From the cast which I have this could be prossible, but more probable it is that this attribute is an unskillfully added patera so that we have a Concordia too like on the previous coin.
