Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/18/2013 1:26 pm Ah, it says NIK which means its from Nikopolis. Heres the reverse (The legends match): Unfortunately, it seems that many many emperors issued that reverse with identical legends. It may not be possible to ID further. The beard pins in down a bit, but its not really possible for me to ID the emperor. Maybe someone better versed in greek should give it a whack. Report this Post to the Staff
