<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1922707, member: 19463&quot;]IMO the other Pescennius with the strongest tie to Septimius is the AETERNITAS with moon and stars which was relatively common for Pescennius but rare for Septimius.&nbsp; I admit I would have preferred the S for G on the reverse as it is on Septimius (my #2 on this list) but that is not known.&nbsp; My coin is unusual in that I know of another (better!) example from the same dies.&nbsp; The statistics I have seen suggest that there are many dies known only from one specimen which makes the discovery of new dies a real possibility.&nbsp;&nbsp; Obviously I would really like a coin that has a die link to a Septimius obverse (unknown to me).&nbsp; Roger Bickford-Smith owned a Septimius overstruck on a Pescennius which I really wanted but it was sent to the British Museum before his collection was sold.&nbsp; This image was made from a plaster cast Roger sent me.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/pnos300.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>For the record:&nbsp; My previous and only other Pescennius is one I have not seen duplicated with the reverse spelling.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]330385[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
