[QUOTE="Jochen1, post: 5297440, member: 103829"]You are right. Here is the complete attribution: Your coin is Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2020) 8.14.46.6; not in AMNG; not in Varbanov Description: Moesia inferior, Septimius Severus, AD 193-211 AE struck under governor Aurelius Gallus obv. [AV] K L CE[P] - CEVHROC [P] Bust, draped and cuirassed, seen from behind, laureate, r. rev. VP [AV GA]LLOV NIKOP[OL]IT[W] PROC I Tetrastyle temple with small trigonal pediment, covering only the two middle columns, with base and architrav, within cult statue (Asklepios resting on snake staff) The attibution was not so difficult. Above the roof of the temple you see LOVNIK. That is Nikopolis and as governor either Gallus or Tertullus. But the name of Tertullus is much longer and therefore couldn't have OV on top of the roof. It has to be Gallus. And the decisive factor was that the rev. has no exergue. It is the only known temple type without exergue! Best regards[/QUOTE]
