Julia Domna; Nicopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior, c. 202-5 AD, AE 27, 13.64g. AMNG-1464 (3 spec.), BM-27 with engraving (same dies). Obv: EA OMNACEBACTH Bust draped r. Rx: VA AVP AOV NEIKOOIT POC IC Caracalla on horse galloping r., his cloak floating behind him, spearing wild boar, running r. below horse. Interesting types on both sides, and rare. This seems to be the only obverse die that calls Domna Thea, that is goddess, at Nicopolis during her lifetime. The imperial hunt on the reverse similarly appears on just this one reverse die. The governorship of Aurelius Gallus, who is named on the reverse, must have overlapped with the years 202-205, since he is also named on coins of Plautilla.Area of weak strike. VF
