[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5779898, member: 19463"]I have nothing to add to the discussion but there are a few examples of the coins. Another Trier [ATTACH=full]1243244[/ATTACH] Sol is mentioned so it can be shown: [ATTACH=full]1243245[/ATTACH] I find interest in the way the shield is shown on this type. Is that the back side showing straps/handles? [ATTACH=full]1243246[/ATTACH] Septimius Severus Alexandria [ATTACH=full]1243249[/ATTACH] Four from the 'Emesa' complex MAREI VICT [ATTACH=full]1243250[/ATTACH] MART VICTOR [ATTACH=full]1243251[/ATTACH] Some will insist this MARS PATER is barbarous. [ATTACH=full]1243253[/ATTACH] Rome mint MARS PATER [ATTACH=full]1243255[/ATTACH] Rome mint MARS PACATOR [ATTACH=full]1243256[/ATTACH] Mars and Septimius had trouble deciding who was to be on which side on this Rome mint PATER so they shared both sides. Everyone knows that Minerva was born springing forth from Jupiter but few realize that Mars came from the head of Septimius. ;) [ATTACH=full]1243260[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
