130 130     Ivan Mikulčiḱ. Stobi. Antički Grad. Stobi, An Ancient City (Skopje, 2003), p. 39, and 56-59: "I registered a finding of coin type No. 6 [our type] from the village of Gilšic near Kavadarci. The head of August, accompanied by an inscription, does not need any commentary. The symbolic scene on the reverse, of colonists ploughing the first furrows, was a favourite at the time. A similar coin from the colony of Pella from the early Augustine time most closely resembles this coin."
