<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3010862, member: 44316&quot;]I have just posted an educational web site on ADVENTVS types:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/PROFECTIO/ADVENTVS.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/PROFECTIO/ADVENTVS.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/PROFECTIO/ADVENTVS.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>ADVENTVS means &quot;arrival&quot; and refers to the emperor arriving in Rome. For example,</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]746728[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Septimius Severus</b>, 193-211</p><p>Struck 202.

Now I have pages on travel in both directions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Show us your ADVENTVS coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
