Yup, the toning got to me. Septimius Severus AR denarius, PM TRP XVI COS III PP, Concordia, Rome 208AD - RIC 218 RIC 218, RCV 6344 material: silver max diameter: 20mm weight: 2.8g
A nice looking coin @Pishpash I recognize it from my watchlist, not surprised and a little jealous that it got snapped up. As all have commented, nicely toned. Here's my final purchase for 2018 - it showed up today. A relative of your coin: sister-in-law to Septimus Severus i.e. older sister to Julia Domna. Julia Maesa was a somewhat ambitious grandmother. She lived in her sister's shadow for a while, then came forward with a vengeance - first to unseat Macrinus and establish Elagabalus, her grandson by daughter Julia Soaemias with a strong family resemblance to Caracalla, as emperor. When she didn't have the control or influence that she hoped for, she arranged the assassinations of her daughter and grandson to establish another grandson, by younger daughter Julia Mamaea, as emperor. AR Denarius, 3.2g, minted in Rome 220-222 AD Obv: JULIA MAESA AUG; draped bust of Julia Maesa to the right Rev: SAECULI FELICITAS; Felicitas standing facing, head left, sacrificing out of a patera over altar to left, holding long caduceus; star in right field Not sure it sounds like a "Saeculi Felicitas" or "Age of Good Fortune" to me...
That's the thing about sentiments expressed on coins...poke around and find that the opposite is probably true. Just think of those VICTORIA AVGG types of Valerian...
Yes, @ancient coin hunter Valerian not exactly the most victorious of the augusti - as illustrated in stone here: https://www.britannica.com/place/ancient-Iran/images-videos/media/851961/1839
