Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy coin of Gordian III (AD 238-44), struck at Nicopolis-ad-Istrum (in Moesia Inferior). The obverse legend is illegible, but the emperor is identified fromt he style of bust. The reverse inscription records the piece as coming from Nicopolis. The reverse type might be unpublished, but we will not know until a better example of this issue is found (either from a hoard or as a site-find, or in a publication that has not been consulted), but probably shows Hermes standing left.
