Other Emperor's Provincial coins

This page contains coins from Emperors other than Elagabalus (or their wives) that came from a different city than Markianopolis who either minted an interesting coin that I have, or have a coin that I wished to point to from another area of my coin web sites.

This was another of my very first coins, From the same batch as my first Elagabalus. However this coin was badly corroded and took quite a while to clean up even to the state that it is currently in. It took even longer to figure out who was on the reverse. The diameter is 25 mm and is 11.78 g, die axis 180. Minted in Nikomedia (Nicomedia), Bithynia 139-180.
