I like the short title used on his later coins from the Rome mint, and I like how nice and round and well centered and well struck alot of them are. I just wish mine had a bit more of a deep strike on the reverse, but it is still nice, I have always liked the VICT PART MAX series.</p><p>I still really want one of the later Rome mint issues of Septimius Severus with Neptune holding his trident on the reverse, that and the &#039;RESTITUTOR URBIS&#039; one are two of my favorite types of Septimius Severus Denarii, the Neptune one being high on my list if I can find a good well struck example.</p><p>------------</p><p>Roman Empire</p><p>Emperor Septimius Severus (193 - 211 AD) Silver Denarius.</p><p>VICT PART MAX -&#039;Total Victory in Parthia&#039;</p><p>&quot;My victory in Parthia was complete&quot;</p><p>Struck in AD 202 at the Rome Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>obv: SEVERUS PIUS AVG - Laureate head right.</p><p>rev: VICT PART MAX - Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. </p><p>------------</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the slight toning on the obv and the clarity of the letters in the obverse title.
