<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2708223, member: 75937&quot;]On the right side of the reverse inscription, I don&#039;t think that&#039;s a K. I think that&#039;s the shaft of the spear/scepter the deity is holding. I think that inscription begins with an O. </p><p><br /></p><p>The identity of the second and third letters is unclear, as TIF notes above, but might be the combination ΓΧ (transliterated NCH, as in aNCHialus). The second letter could be an I or T, I suppose. The third is really unclear (X, B, ?). </p><p><br /></p><p>The incription clearly reads ΟVΛ after that. There is an unclear letter following, but a clear N after that. Assuming the inscription to be in the genitive plural--as most cities are--then it probably ends in ΩΝ. The first three letters after the break read ΔΙΟ.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, something like ΟΓΧΟVΛΩΝ - ΔΙΟ[...]. Arranging it vertically, as TIF did, I offer:</p><p><br /></p><p>K (or not part of the inscription at all, but the shaft of the spear)</p><p>O</p><p>Γ (or T or I)</p><p>X (B, ?)</p><p>O</p><p>V</p><p>Λ</p><p>Ω (or A, ?)</p><p>N</p><p><br /></p><p>Δ</p><p>I</p><p>O[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
