Although this is a plea for information, by all means share your Septimius Severus provincials, Asklepios coins, and so on! This is show and tell. Septimius Severus Bithynia, Nicaea AD 193-211 AE 20.5 mm, 5.63 gm Obv: ΑΥ ΚΛ CΕΠ CΕΥΗΡΟC CEB, laureate head, r. Rev: ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ, Asklepios standing facing, head l., holding serpent-staff. Ref: RG 333. I have this coin of Sept. Severus and I don't have access to the relevant volumes of BMC, RPC,* SNG von Aulock, or Lindgren. It's not on Wildwinds and I can't find an example at acsearchinfo. Would anyone with access to these references for Nicaea in Bithynia be so kind as to let me know if this coin appears therein? Thanks in advance. I am, however, able to access the online version of RG book 1, volume 3 (page 440), where it is listed as #333, citing a retouched specimen in Milan, AE 21 with illegible obverse legend. I guess what I'm trying to ascertain is how rare this thing might be. Is there another example online anywhere? If the RG is the only citation for this coin, then that would mean that the obverse inscription is only attested by my particular example. *Unfortunately, RPC volumes V and VI are not at the online version of RPC.
Oh, man, way out of my bailiwick. I have a Septimus Severus, but my attribution is terrible... RI Septimus Severus 193-211 AR Denarius Genius Sacrificing
