Little Septimius Severus provincials from Marcianopolis

This little coin has been neglected. I purchased it more than two years ago from @John Anthony , but never got around to photographing it until this evening. In the course of doing so, I noticed it shared an obverse die with another coin I have in my collection but with a different reverse type. The die-match allows me to reconstruct the obverse legend with certainty.

These two coins from Marcianopolis Thrace fascinate me in as much they were probably the same Triumphal arch just rendered differently, the Macrinus using the same format as the earlier Severen family.
