    Hi All,

    I came across this coin of Geta and can't understand the rev. legend. The portrait style and obv. legend seem consistent with Nicaea. I have the obv. legend as: [Λ] CEΠT ΓETAC KAICAP. Typically the rev. legend would be ΝΙΚΑΙ-ΕΩΝ or similar, but this doesn't look anything like that. Is there an expert in provincials who can help me match this to the correct city?
