STOBI. Now ruins of Stob, close to the outfall of the Black river in Vardar. | ||||

NOTE: A huge number of variations of the reverse legends was used for provincial coins with the bust of the emperor or empress on the obverse. To identify your coin using Moushmov, just concentrate on the reverse image. I have added some additional rev. legends to the Julia Domna list below to give you an idea of the variations used. For more precise identification please check wildwinds, or purchase Varbanov volume III. | ||||
