<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4062752, member: 99554"]Did you ever have a coin's crush ? The heart that beats fast, the ideas that get confused and that make say anything, the legs that waver, the <b>crush </b>causes uncontrollable chemical reactions in the brain that have nothing to do with magic. It is caused by the secretion of four specific molecules: <i>phenylethylamine, dopamine, norepinephrine</i> and <i>adrenaline</i>.These molecules are very powerful drugs capable of causing behavioral changes. Under their influence, the heart beats faster and the blood pressure increases.Unfortunately, the effect does not last forever. After 18 months, the intensity of the molecules gradually decreases and disappears completely after four years.</p><p>Nature being well done, when the crush molecules fade, <i>oxytocin</i> takes over. This molecule, also called “attachment molecule”, is at the origin of the feeling of comfort and well-being experienced in the presence of the sweet coin. This is what makes an individual and an object able to live together for 50 years. I've been stuck by this kind of <b>crush </b>lately. I can't explain why; it's not because of its beauty, not because its rarity and not for the price neither. But it was love at first sight:</p><p>SEVERUS II</p><p>Follis 28 mm 8.02g</p><p>FL VAL SEVERVS NOB C / GENIO POPULI ROMANI</p><p>RIC Lyons 193.

He rose to a senior rank in the Roman army. On May 305 AD, Galerius made his close friend Severus caesar of the Western Empire under Constantius Chlorus. On the death of Chlorus, <b>Severus</b> was promoted to Augustus by Galerius, in opposition to the acclamation of Constantius' son Constantine I by his own army.
