<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 23212804, member: 101855&quot;]Here is my Clodius Albinus denarius and the notations from my notebook. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1545874[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Denarius of Clodius&nbsp; Albinus as caesar, Obverse: <b>D CLOD SEPT ALBIN CAES</b> “Decimus Clodius Septimius Albinus caesar.” Reverse: <b>MINER PACIF COS II </b>“Minerva peace consul II” Minerva the goddess of wisdom, patron of the arts and hope of men in war. In this case she offering an olive branch of peace. COS II = year 194. Sear 6144</p><p><br /></p><p>Decimus Clodius Septimius Albinus declined an offer to became emperor but signed on to an agreement with Septimius Severus to rule over Spain, Gaul and Britain while Septimius dealt with Pescennius Niger. Once Septimius has liquidated Niger, he turned his attentions to solidifying his family’s rule over the empire. After Septimius made his older son, Caracalla, caesar, Albinus realized that he had been pushed aside. That forced his hand and he went to war with Septimius. Septimius defeated and killed him thus removing the last of the obstacles that had prevented him from becoming the ruler of Rome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
