<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 4493816, member: 75641&quot;][USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] Nice coin.&nbsp; I think that the issue of his coins was limited by a short period in power but also I don’t think Severus would have given much priority to coinage for a man who would soon be replaced by Caracalla.&nbsp; I think of it as a situation similar to the one of Constantine I and Licinius I.&nbsp;&nbsp; Constantine certainly didn’t go out of his way to mint many different types for Licinius.&nbsp; </p><p>I also prefer to buy coins with full legends in general and particularly in denarii.&nbsp; My example barely meets that criteria but I saw this unsold lot and purchased it right away because I really hadn’t seen anything better for the price.&nbsp; A few spots and weak strike/wear combo but a decent coin nonetheless.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1115001[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Clodius Albinus, Denarius, COS II</b></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Clodius Albinus</p><p>Caesar: 193 - 195AD</p><p>Augustus: 195 - 197AD</p><p>Issued: 194 - 195AD</p><p>20.0 x 16.5mm 2.80gr 0h</p><p>O: D CLOD SEPT ALBIN CAES; Bare head, right.</p><p>R: COS II; Aesculapius standing left, holding staff with snake coiled around it.</p><p>Rome Mint</p><p>RIC 2; Sear 6140; RSC 9; Aorta: 16: B1, O4, R5, T2, M3.</p><p>Timeline Auctions Auction 032017, Lot 3244[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
