Macrinus and Diadumenian. 5 Assaria; Macrinus and Diadumenian; 217-218 AD, Marcianopolis, Moesia Inferior, Struck under the governor Pontianus, 5 Assaria, 13.87g. Pfeiffer-230 (same dies). Obv: AVT K O?E? CEV MAKPEINOC K M O?E? ANTONEI / NOC Vis-à-vis busts of Macrinus r., laureate and cuirassed, and Diadumenian l., bare-headed and draped. Rx: V? ?ONTIANOV MA - PKIANO??????O? Apollo sacrificing l. from patera over lighted altar, and holding branch downwards behind him; mark of value E in r. field. The engraver ran out of space after writing ANTONE (NE ligate) at the end of the obverse legend; to complete the name he had to write a small I below the upside-down ligate NE, and an even smaller NOC in a second line below ONE.For the not very rare double portrait coins of the Roman provincial issues, this stands out as one of the most beautiful we have handled.
