<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2402249, member: 42773&quot;]There&#039;s an abundance of reasons to collect Late Severan Dynasty denarii. The artistry of the Rome mint engravers was at a high point. The alloy had enough copper to make for strong coins that resisted wear, and the coins were generally well-struck on both sides. And the Rome mint churned out a LOT of them. In no other period do you find as many well-made, beautiful denarii for so cheap. (I&#039;m excluding the later antoniniani, which of course are a different denomination.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a selection of four that recently passed through my store. Two of S. Alex with Mars and Salus, Caracalla with Serapis, and Elagabalus with Providentia.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495242[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
