<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4654826, member: 19463&quot;]The curved sword made a rare reappearance in exergue of a Septimius Severus &#039;Emesa&#039; denarius showing the captive from the Parthian war. These are dated TRP III (195) and seem to be the end of the series from that mint.&nbsp; My example is terrible but never got upgraded.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1149126[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll add two of the common (no sword) types showing the attire of what was then considered to be the recently defeated enemy.&nbsp; However, we really do not know if the die cutter had knowledge of the appearance of the foe or if the coins were modeled from those of Trajan. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1149128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149129[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
