Narrative:

While touching down on runway (cessna 172); an aircraft (seneca ii) on final approach for (the reciprocal runway) touched down as well. I realized the seneca ii was in transit in the oncoming direction only after touching down on the runway. The winds were calm; but the flow of traffic was for runway xy; as several aircraft were using runway xy and broadcasting such intentions. The pilot of the seneca admittedly failed to listen to the AWOS where a NOTAM was posted pertaining to the frequency change from 122.8 to 122.725. The pilot of the seneca was transmitting on 122.8 meaning no traffic in the area could receive the transmission. Both of our aircraft braked and deviated to the right of the runway center-line. No person were injured. The only property damage springing from the incursion was to the cessna 172 I was instructing in due to heavy braking. The tire on the right main of the 172 will have to be replaced because of baldness. Such an incident was hazardous to heavy training operations at/in the vicinity. It is my prediction that this event could have ended with a higher consequence if both of our quick and concise inputs were neglected.

Title: C172 instructor reports landing and discovering a Seneca II landing in the opposite direction. Both pilots brake hard and keep to the right and a collision is avoided. The Seneca pilot had not listened to the AWOS and was not aware of a CTAF frequency change.
