<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancientone, post: 2628961, member: 71599&quot;]Here are two coins from Elis and Nikopolis,Epirus that I believe to be unique. I have yet to find any reference or similar examples in private collections. The fact that they are possibly unique is exciting, but they are also from historically important cities. The Elis was probably minted to supplement an Olympics during the reign of Septimius. The city of Nikopolis was founded in 31 BC by Octavian in memory of his victory over Antony and Cleopatra at Actium the previous year.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]578132[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Epirus, Nikopolis, AE18.
