This one is a Rome mint example. An eastern example would look like this (from the Barry Murphy collection website) [IMG]
The new style Eastern Mint of Septimius Severus starts with an IMP VIII issue, followed by an IMP VIIII issue. There is then a gap in RIC, which...
They don't usually turn up this nice on both side.
I did build a collection of these sacrifice variations a while back. Here is one of them. Obv:– IMP ANTONINVS PIVS AVG, laureate, horned, draped...
This is a great coin and is quite significant from a numismatic perspective. It is further evidence of the processes used in the mint. A few...
The IMP X - Genius is ex-my collection.. I am so glad it found a suitable home.
I am choosing to use "eastern" quite deliberatley. There is no real evidence of the location of the mints for the AVG-COS series or the IMP II,...
We are now a few years on and I have added another two reverse dies to the one in my OP. One is the MONET AVG type that I mentioned above, the...

He and I chatted about fallen horsemen often and regularly pointed out interesting coins to one another that the other might be interested in. He...
Hmm. Not sure why my image above is not displaying correctly. I have a gallery of my collection of Probus coins from Alexandria here, which is...
There are lods of photo joining tools online.
Something like this one:- Probus, Billon tetradrachm, Alexandria, Year 3, Eagle right (palm) Obv:- A K M AVP PR-OBOC CEB, Laureate, cuirassed...
FANTASTIC
Nice, I like errors too. The Diocletian - sceptre vs spear - is not isolated to a single die. Out of the 40 or so coins of the general type in my...
There are a few but they are not a prolific as coins of Maximian with Jupiter.
I find it relatively interesting that whilst we see these coins o Maximian with Hercules there is no real shortage of coins of Maximian with...
