| Reverse description | A tripod, the sacred symbol of Apollo, is depicted in the central field, with a coiled serpent entwined around its base or column, referencing the Delphic and oracular traditions closely associated with Nicopolis. The composition is rendered in a simple, bold provincial style typical of Epirote civic coinage of the third century AD. The reverse legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΝΙΚΟΠΟΛΙϹ identifies the issuing city as the 'Sacred Nicopolis,' with the Greek letter Δ serving as a denomination or series mark. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, consistent with the hand-hammered technique of the period. |
