[QUOTE="Mat, post: 1763419, member: 21445"]One of those dream empresses I never thought I would own but luckily one surfaced a bit lower then my normal budget for an ancient coin, and for her it was basically a steal. Even the crummiest of grades are double of what I paid for this. Its got some faults but I can live with them since many of her coins tend to have a fault of some sort usually. It has a somewhat cool die clash of the portrait on the right reverse field & I love die clashing. I took the photo about 30 times for this coin and it still isnt great, best I could do with what I have. Its camera shy :( [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/jifhis.jpg[/IMG] [B]Aquilia Severa (221 - 222 A.D.)[/B] [B]AR Denarius[/B] O: IVLIA AQVILIA SEVERA AVG, draped bust right. R: CONCORDIA, Concordia standing half left, sacrificing from patera in right over lit altar, double cornucopia in left, star left. Rome 221 A.D. 19mm 3.2g RIC IV 226, BMCRE V 184, RSC III 2, SRCV II 7679[/QUOTE]
