ID of Silver Denarius

I'm hesitating between Clodius Albinos and Septimius Severus on obverse of this Roman denarius. After a 3-hour- search, I couldn't come to a final decisive end. There's victory holding wreath and palm branch on reverse. That looks easy, but I can't find an attribution. The coin weighs 2.84 g. Thank you.

I'm not giving this ID away when I show mine but it might help.


This page will give it away and the fact that neither this one or mine is very high grade might tell you something. Martin, do you have a bold one? See 347

These are mine.




They go the other direction too

 

My last two are of course different attributions to one another.

 

Finally, I got two attributions. The first is RIC 38 A. It was struck in Rome ( Reka Devnia Hoard- page 103). The second attribution is RIC IV- Alexandria-350 B. Just heading right or left for Victory, could make a great deal for a coin. Funny indeed.
Brother Martin and Master Doug, Thank you very much for your precious and sincere cooperation.

 

So which attribution do you think is correct? Rome or Alexandria?

 

OK.. Give me some time please, since I'm known to be slow-motion.

 

I tend likely to Alexandria Mint, due to legend on obverse. Thanks again for your kind concern.
