<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5143040, member: 19463"]I don't believe anyone has posted a coin from Antioch by Pescennius Niger. He gets no respect as a usurper. He was defeated by Septimius Severus when both simultaneously rose against Didius Julianus at least partly because Septimius Severus was stationed closer to Rome and made a beeline there to cement his position. Technically, both were usurpers against the same foe. His coins are not popular because there are rather few in high grade. As a collector of Septimius Severus, I felt it appropriate to have a few of the other side. </p><p>This one is Minerva. MINER VICTRIS</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1207176[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
