Septimius Severus NewP (My 2nd Ancient!)

Thank you, I am flattered not only that someone would bother to read something I wrote, but also that someone else would think it worthy of linking to.

Great coin. I think a family set is a good way to start a collection.
One of the first ancient coins that caught my eye was a youthful Geta. I do not have one yet, so the one posted below is borrowed from acsearch.info.

 

Its a great 2nd.

 

Real nice Septimius Severus; attractive!

 

Many thanks! I've got my eye currently on some family members.

 

Grest starters @dadams !
I can't wait for the main course

Funny enough is I started almost in the same way with romans, my first silver puchase was a Spetimius Severus / victory denarius, although a different type, and that was in 1983 (I still own it) : welcome to the dark side

Q

 

My first Roman silver coin was also a Septimius Severus Denarius in c. 1986. Sadly I do not still own it.
