Bare headed and draped bust right - " seen from behind Meaning Marcus Opellius Antonius Rev. Leg. MARKIANOPOLEI / TWN Rev. Desc. Lion walking left Meaning (Coin) of the people of Markianopolis - " References; MAR1.12; Hristova/Jekov 6.25.53.1 (r.6); Varbanov (Eng.) Vol.1. No. 1349 This is the "blurb" for it. the TWN is what's under the lion - though translate the W to an Omega in the Greek. If you intend to collect coins from Marcianopolis I highly recommend the Hristova/Jekov book.
