<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jochen1, post: 3351099, member: 103829&quot;]You have asked for the early 3rd century. Here I have listed the coins from Severus (193-211) until Gordian III (238-244). Thereafter the mint was closed.</p><p>Referring to Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) in this time 2561 different types were issued. I focus on signed coins (with the name of the governor on it), that makes 1341 types altogether:</p><p>Severus 271</p><p>Domna 35</p><p>Caracalla 160</p><p>Plautilla 40</p><p>Geta 62</p><p>Macrinus 234</p><p>Diadumenia 165</p><p>Elagabal 277</p><p>Gordian III 97</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Severus (193-211) 271 sign. coins (with EI 6.3%)</p><p>under Auspex (193-195) 21 types</p><p>1x NIKOPOLEITWN = 4.8%</p><p>under Gentianus (195-198) 15 types</p><p>always NIKOPOLITWN</p><p>under Tertullus (198-201) 52 types</p><p>1x NIKOPOLEITWN = 1.9%</p><p>under Gallus (201-204) 168 types</p><p>11x NIKOPOLEITWN = 6.5%</p><p>4x NEIKOPO = 2.4%</p><p>under Ulpianus (210-213) 15 types</p><p>always NIKOPOLITWN</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Domna (193-211) 35 sign. coins (with EI 28.6%)</p><p>under Tertullus (198-201) 9 types</p><p>1x NIKOPOLEITWN = 11%</p><p>under Gallus (201-204) 26 types</p><p>6x NIKOPOLEITWN = 23%</p><p>3x NEIKOPO.. = 11.5%</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Caracalla (198-217) 160 sign. coins (with EI 4.4%)</p><p>under Tertullus(198-201) 31 types</p><p>always NIKOPOLITWN</p><p>under Gallus (201-204) 83 types</p><p>3x NIKOPOLEITWN = 3.6%</p><p>3x NEIKOPO... = 3.6%</p><p>under Ulpianus (210-213) 46 types</p><p>1x NIKOPOLEIT = 2.2%</p><p><br /></p><p>4) Plautilla (202-205) 40 sign. coins (with EI 25%)</p><p>all under Gallus (201-204) 40 types</p><p>7x NIKOPOLEITWN = 17.5%</p><p>3x NEIKOPO... = 7.5%</p><p><br /></p><p>5) Geta (209-212) 62 sign. coins (with EI 3.2%)</p><p>under Gallus 11 types</p><p>1x NEIKOPO... = 9.1%</p><p>under Ulpianus 51 types</p><p>1x NEIKOPO... = 2%</p><p><br /></p><p>6) Macrinus (217-218) 234 sign. coins (with EI 33.3%)</p><p>under Agrippa (217-218) 65 types</p><p>3x MAKREINOC = 4.6%</p><p>under Longinus (217-218) 154 types</p><p>65x MAKREINOC = 42.2%</p><p>3x NIKOPOLITWN = 1.9%</p><p>under Pontianus (217-218) 15 types</p><p>7x NEIKOPOLITWN = 46.7%</p><p><br /></p><p>7) Diadumenian (217-218) 165 sign. coins (with EI 2.4%)</p><p>under Agrippa (217-218) 71 types</p><p>always NIKOPOLITWN</p><p>under Longinus 94 types</p><p>4x NIKOPOLEITWN = 4.3%</p><p><br /></p><p>8) Elagabal (218-222) 277 sign. coins (with EI 3.2%)</p><p>all under Rufus (218-222) 277 types</p><p>9x NIKOPOLEITWN = 3.2%</p><p><br /></p><p>9) Severus Alexander (222-235): no coins minted</p><p><br /></p><p>10) Gordian III (238-244) 97 sign. coins (with Ei = 100%)</p><p>all under under Modestus (241-244)</p><p>always NIKOPOLEITWN = 100%</p><p>1x EICTRO = 1%</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the list you can&#039;t make out a trend. It depends on the individual governor. Gallus often hase used EI. Therefore the high rate for Domna. Longinus has often used EI. Therefore the high rate for Macrinus. The name of Diadumenian missed an I that could be Greek EI. And at the end Modestus attracts attention because he always writes NIKOPOLEITWN. Wether this writing has become prevalent I don&#039;t know, because after Gordian III the mint in Nikopolis was closed. And I&#039;m not familiar with Latin inscriptions found in Nikopolis thereafter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best regards[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
