[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7409524, member: 85693"]This terrific thread seems to be the place to go for my new Septimius Severus AE from Nikopolis ad Istrum. It is 2.65 grams / 17 mm and features a kantharos on the reverse. I could only find two of this type online, one in Wildwinds, the other an Nomos / Obolos Auction (Obolos 16, Lot 443, Oct. 11, 2020). Although the basic laureate head / kantharos are the same, neither one of these match mine in regards to legends (mine is similar, but shorter than the other two, if I am reading things correctly).
