[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3897700, member: 31620"]Perhaps the coin gods were not as cross with me as I had worried, though they made me wait. This coin was mistakenly sent to Canada instead of the UK from France and took 5 weeks to make it back to France and then 2 more days to get to me from there. So here is me long awaited arrival. It is an eastern IMP VIII issue (allocated to Laodicea-ad-Mare by most references). In amongst the IMP VIII series which normally has the obverse legend "L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIII" are some rare variations with SEVER instead of SEV. We have no idea why they are differtn but they are generally of similar style to examples with the normal legend. [B]Septimius Severus denarius [/B] Obv:– L SEPT SEVER PERT AVG IMP VIII, Laureate head right Rev:– INVICTO IMP, Trophy with arms below Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare, A.D. 196 – 197 References:– RIC -.
