<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3046991, member: 75937&quot;]Even though the reverse die is worn and the devices are kind of mushy, the Celator&#039;s attention to detail is still apparent.

Coins from the earliest period, AD 244-246, read MARCIA OTACIL SEVERA AVG; from the middle period, AD 246-248, M OTACIL SEVERA AVG; from the last period, AD 248-249, OTACIL SEVERA AVG. Concordia seated types were issued bearing all three different obverse legends. All are quite common in the antoninianus denomination. Aureii, denarii and quinarii with this reverse type are known but are extremely rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, post anything you feel is relevant![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
