This example, whilst suffering from the harsh cleaning method (zapped?) is sufficiently clear to make out the correct COS II obverse legend and the AV/G on the shield.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064lz_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv:- L SEPT SEVER P-ERT AVG IMP VII-I, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:- VICTOR AVG, Victoria standing right, left foot on globe?, holding shield with left hand, resting on knee, inscribing with right hand</p><p>Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare.</p><p>Reference:– RIC 486 var.
