pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 2:11 pm To me it looked Roman on the front and Greek on the back! I don't do Greek! It does seem to have something about it. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 7:47 pm Luckily I taught myself the Greek alphabet 14 years ago. Comes in use only for Numismatics now. Yes, Nicaea (Modern Iznik). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaea Even not knowing Greek, the reverse type of three Standards with "NIKAIE" interspersed, with the missing "ON" in exergue, to spell out NIKAIEON, will help you in future when you again see the common Provincial type.
