<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2338505, member: 19463&quot;]I only have one Verus denarius and it was bought for a strange reason.&nbsp; The type and reverse legend was copied directly on a rare Alexandria mint denarius of Septimius Severus of which I probably own the worst known.&nbsp; I recall Martin&#039;s is better.&nbsp; Several of Septimius&#039; Eastern types were copied from earlier coins but I have no idea why the ones used were selected.&nbsp; Perhaps it was what was in the engraver&#039;s purse that day???</p><p>[ATTACH=full]474895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474896[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
