Quote:Regi comes from Regere and has not much to do with the word Rex.
M.VIB.M.
Regere and rex are from the same root. "Regi" is probably the dative of rex. Since "Hannibaliano" is also in the dative, it would fit. "Fl(avio) Hannibaliano Regi" "To Flavius Hannibalianus, King". If he used the coins outside of Roman dominion or in an attempt to secede as King of Pontus or King of Kings, it would work; for a Roman emperor, it is certainly odd.
