[QUOTE="Jochen1, post: 3257430, member: 103829"]Another correction of a legend error I found on a coin for Elagabal, HrHJ (2018) 8.26.47.2. The coin is in a bad state and I have posted only the rev. [ATTACH=full]856104[/ATTACH] You can read ROVFO NIKO.. But the N looks like a V with a small upstroke. I think it is a kind of ligate VN and should correct an omitted letter. I think the N was omitted. Later I found another example of this kind of correction. It is Caracalla, HrHJ (2018) 8.18.8.5. [ATTACH=full]856107[/ATTACH] It is IANOV (from OVLPIANOV) where V again is ligate with the N of NIKOPOL. The I of NIKO is hidden in the die break. I think you can see that first the V has been cutted that then was corrected to a ligate VN. What do you think?[/QUOTE]
