<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2854587, member: 42773&quot;]2942 is a tripod reverse. 2946 is cataloged as having obverse legend MAP AV K ANTΩNIN with bareheaded, draped bust right, but the reverse inscription is NIKOΠOΛIT ΠPOC IC. 3007 is a smaller denomination, AE15, although its particulars are the same as 2946, so its possibly just an undersized version of the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve discovered that it&#039;s not uncommon to find inscriptions from Nikopolis that don&#039;t match recorded coins. Varbanov is impressively extensive, but by no means exhaustive. I do believe it&#039;s a coin of Caracalla with obverse legend MAP AV K ANTΩNIN, bare head right. The reverse inscription is NIKOΠOΛITΩN // ΠPOC, which was a legend variant used on other types during the same period, so it&#039;s no surprise to find it on this coin. If you want to use Varbanov as a reference, I would call it <i>2946 var (reverse legend)</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
