<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4747229, member: 19463&quot;]My left facing Septimius Severus (&#039;Emesa&#039;) brought two of its right facing brothers.&nbsp; The first two coins have the broken obverse legend E-V&nbsp; which occurs in this period more frequently than other options to the point that&nbsp; it seems obvious that there was a reason for that split other than just where they ran out of room.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1159730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1159731[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The third coin is again a right facer and seems to have the smallest amount of E-V break unless you want to call it continuous.&nbsp; The lack of the normal sized break resulted in extra space at the end of the legend which was filled by spreading the letters COS II a bit more than usual.
