[QUOTE="danielus, post: 25919341, member: 32214"]Hi, if it's useful, in [URL='https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/moesia/markianopolis/t.html']wildwinds[/URL] AMNG987 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/BpG33GN.jpeg[/IMG] Describe the reverse as "Hermes" holding a bag and a staff (if you could see the winged feet, it would be easier).. The reverse is described as Hermes holding a bag and a staff (if you could see the winged feet, it would be easier) but Hermes is associated with commerce, so the bag would be more likely. I always find Dionysus with the bunch of grapes.... Anyway, I hope it is useful to you and does not complicate things even more. On this page about the coins of Marcianopolis, there are several that describe the reverse as being of Hermes, perhaps he was a god associated with the city. Severus Alexander AE24 of Markianopolis, Moesia Inf. Magistrate Gaetulicus. AVT K M AVR CEV ALEXANDROC, laureate head right. VP IOVL GETOVLIOVK MARKIANOPOL,ITWN (in fields), [B][I]Hermes[/I][/B] standing left, holding [B][I]purse and staff[/I][/B]. Here is another page that takes the reverse of coins similar to yours as the figure of [URL='https://diadumenian.com/Marcianopolis%20mac%20dia%20hermes%20heads.html']Hermes[/URL]. Kind regards. Espero sea útil.[/QUOTE]
