<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 5308824, member: 57495&quot;]Another bump for this thread before I post my $1-$100 list.&nbsp; This coin&#039;s from the same auction as the one I posted above, and like that one, doesn&#039;t make either of my year end lists.&nbsp; It is, however, my first Apollo Sauroktonos, which was a type that had been on my want list for a number of years.&nbsp; I believe Doug calls this the &quot;darting&quot; type.&nbsp; Patricia Lawrence, on her <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ayiyoryitika/saurcoins/ayiyoryitika-saurcoins.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ayiyoryitika/saurcoins/ayiyoryitika-saurcoins.htm" rel="nofollow">webpage</a> that catalogues all the lizard-slayer variants, refers to this as the <i>Rousse Sauroktonos</i>, and considers it &quot;a modest masterpiece.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1224032[/ATTACH]<b>SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS</b></p><p>AE17. 2.0g, 17mm. MOESIA INFERIOR, Nicopolis ad Istrum, AD 193-211. Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018) 8.14.7.18; Varbanov 2246. O: AV KAI CE CEVHPOC, laureate head right.
