<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2741217, member: 19463&quot;]I believe year two would be 193-194.&nbsp; I do not know on what date Caesarea reckoned the start of a new year.&nbsp; Alexandria used August 29.&nbsp; Year one would, then, be from the date the ruler came to power until that date when it would become year two.&nbsp; Septimius may have been using January 1 as his date honoring his position as legal heir of Pertinax who did become emperor on that date.&nbsp; There are no Year One coins of Septimius from Caesarea to the best of my knowledge because Pescennius controlled the city then.&nbsp; There are several year two varieties including the Nike ones with the odd ET R date which we take to be a variation on ET B (Greeks had trouble swapping B and R on other coins of this period).&nbsp; Your coin also comes in AE with an altar supporting the mountain.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]625869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]625870[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
