<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 7963015, member: 31620&quot;]I have a strong liking for eastern issues in general and have managed to gather a few Antioch coins of Severus Alexander over the years. For those who care to look there is a lot to be found in these eastern issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:- IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXANDER AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:- LIBERTAS AVG, Aequitas, standing front, head left, holding scales in right hand and cornucopia in left;</p><p>Minted in Antioch. A.D. 223.</p><p>Reference:– BMC -. RIC -. RSC -.</p><p><br /></p><p>An oddity mixing the legend and deity.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1380480[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAN AVG, Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– P M TR P II COS, Fortuna standing left, holding rudder set on globe and cornucopia; star to left</p><p>Minted in Antioch, Issue 3, A.D. 223</p><p>Reference(s) – RIC IV 268 var (obverse legend, normal legend is C).
