could be nice to get some help

 

That's probably because most posters are like me and do not know the answer to your question. Be patient and someone will give you an answer.

 

Nice Ro. Only managed to find one example. It is on Vcoins and has the wrong description.

Thanks, more help would be welcome

 

That is a very interesting coin and one I have never seen with a clear emperor. Of course I have spent very little time looking at late Rome mint denarii. Considering you post a complaint after an hour of no answer I am not inclined to research it when I get home to my books. Any post on this list needs to take into account that we have members in many time zones and not everyone will see every post as soon as it goes up. Thanks for sharing the coin. It is interesting.

 

Thanks/ more help would be useull

 

Two captive s i dont see that, one is sit other is stand

 

Ro, the coin on Vcoins appears to have the right hand "captive" standing, I think the description is incorrect.

 

i thought it was a emperor/ stand

 

One on Wildwinds


Septimius Severus Denarius, RIC 214, RSC 498, BMC 541

 

The one on Wildwinds describes two captives, one sitting and the other standing. The standing figure appears to have his hands behind his back (tied?) and he is wearing a cloak. I would expect the emperor would be wearing more clothes.

 

found one
Septimius Severus. AD 193-211. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.27 g, 7h). Rome mint. Struck AD 207. Laureate head right / Trophy of arms; to left, captive seated left, in attitude of mourning; to right, bound captive standing right. RIC IV 214; RSC 498. Near EF, toned.

 

Mistake coin/ with a very beautyfull emperor

 

Ro, what do you mean mistake coin? ... Pish found you an example where it stated "two captives, one sitting and one standing"

Cool coin, Ro

=> good coin-sleuthing, Pish

 

Here's the listing in RIC; it says one captive is sitting and one is standing.

 

i buy my coin, i thought the emperor was standing near the captive as this one

Domitian not my coin

 

ahhh, I see ... wow, that's a really cool example of captive seated and captive standing with hands tied behind his back (very cool)

thanks for showing that example (that one is a bit nicer than your example) ... but your example is awesome too

 

big mistake
