<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 4251474, member: 91461&quot;]I purchased this coin a couple years ago with the ID of a Marcianopolis Diadumenian. [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&nbsp; correctly and kindly pointed out that this coin is not from Marcianopolis. And also noted the ICTPO on the reverse. This helped narrow my research to Nicopolis. However, I cannot find a Diadumenian from Nicopolis with the crescent moon reverse. I’ve found a number of other emps, chiefly Caracalla, sept sev and Elagabalus to name a few.</p><p>Adding to the confusion is a rough obverse written in Greek. In these types it seems the emperors name is on the left side. Looking at other coins of Diadumenian from Nicopolis, I think I’m reading his name... though could be wishful thinking and actually be Antoninus aka Caracalla.</p><p>Does anyone know if Diadumenian has coins from Nicopolis with the crescent moon reverse? And more importantly, who is on my coin???</p><p>It is about 17 MM and 3.4 gr</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084643[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084645[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help is appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
