New Severina AS

Here’s a new coin I recently acquired. It was reasonably priced. Interestingly, this is also my first AS from this particular period in Rome.

Most likely, all antoninianii for the females have the bust on a crescent.

 

Here is a Severina denarius

A.D. 270 - 275
Ӕ Denarius 19x20mm 2.8g
SEVERINA AVG; Diademed, draped bust right.
VENVS FELIX; Venus standing left holding seated figure of Cupid and scepter.
In ex. S
RIC V Rome 6


and another as, with a reverse that has Sol between Aurelian and Severina



Aurelian
AD 270- 271
Ӕ As 24x27mm 6.6g
IMP AVRELIANVS AVG; laureate and cuirassed bust right.
CONCORDIA AVG Severina and Aurelian standing facing each other and clasping hands; Aurelian holding scepter. Above, radiate and draped bust of Sol right.

I don’t have a denarius of hers, but I do have an Aurelian AS that I acquired shortly after obtaining the Severina AS. I intend to share it in the near future.

Great coins, Victor.
