Because Mrs. Hristova and Mr. Jekov sadly passed away I&#039;m the last surviving author. But with the help of Mrs Marinova, her daughter, I hope to continue her work. I have already started with my 2023 edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is Hristova/Hoeft (2023) No. 8.25.43.5.</p><p>Obv.: K M OPPEL ANTWNIN DIADOUMEMIANOC</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Bust, draped, seen from behind, bare-headed, r.</p><p>Rev.: VP AGRIPP - A NIKOPOLITWN P / ROC ICTR</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mountain god Haimos leaning l., head turned r., holding in r. hand reed and resting with l. hand on rock(?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Because there flows no water we have listed this coin under &quot;Mountain god&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Dear Ancien Aussie!</p><p><br /></p><p>Your 1st coin (Severus) is Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2023) No. 8.14.46.2 R6.</p><p>Your 2nd coin (Macrinus) is No. 8.23.46.3.

But the rev. legend ends with PROC ICT.</p><p>I think the title Magistrate for Statius Longinus is not correct even though we read it often. Magistrate is the high title of a local officer like Major of a town and so on. Statius Longinus in contrast was the emperor&#039;s deputy and governor of the province and commander of the legions there. We should call him governor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind regards</p><p>Jochen (Author of &quot;The Coinage of Nicopolis ad Istrum 2023&quot;)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
