| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eros, depicted in the funerary guise of Thanatos, reclines to the right upon a lion's skin, his winged figure rendered in a languid, contemplative pose. In his raised right hand he holds a poppy head, a symbol of sleep and death, while a downward-pointing torch rests at his side, the extinguished flame evoking mortality. The composition reflects the syncretism between Eros and Thanatos common in provincial Roman art of the Severan period. The legend ΝΙΚΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ ΠΡΟC ΙCΤ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicopolis ad Istrum. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Julia Domna's coins from Nicopolis ad Istrum reflect the city's unusually active civic mint under the Severan dynasty — the town, founded by Trajan to commemorate his Dacian campaign victory near the Ister, produced a remarkable volume of provincial bronze across multiple reigns. The date range here spans from Septimius Severus's accession through Julia Domna's death in 217, following her son Caracalla's murder of Geta and her subsequent loss of political influence at court.
Varbanov 2831 and AMNG I-I 1468 are not always in precise alignment on this type, and collectors should verify the reverse treatment carefully against both references.
