Diadumenian AE26 Provincial
Diadumenian AE26 Provincial, Emperor AD 218, struck at Nicopolis (Nikopolis) ad Istrum, 10.8 gms, Obverse: bare-headed and draped bust of Diadumenian facing right (my Greek is shaky to say the least, and am on a pre-primer phonetic transliteration level, but DIADVMENIANVS is spelled out in front of the young fellow’s face in Greek), Reverse: Nike advancing right, holding a wreath and a palm branch. A wonderful and very attractive portrait of Diadumenian in high relief, very detailed Nike on the reverse, second half of the obverse legend very clear, full and clear reverse legend (I really need to study Roman provincial coinage more and get on those Greek legends), a very, very lovely coin with beautiful and rich green patina throughout, Asking price: $115 includes priority shipping and insurance
