<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2521286, member: 19463&quot;]Both my Septimius AR and AE are year 2 (194 AD).&nbsp; This year is most common for Caesarea for Septimius.&nbsp; I have never seen a year one coin. The Caracalla as Caesar is year 5 but dated according to his father&#039;s dates so 198 AD.&nbsp; This coin is also silver but has a completely black tone.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]537570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537572[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a mountain coin but still Caesarea is this Nike dated E-R.&nbsp; Traditional wisdom is that the R is a letter form of B but I have not seen it on a mountain coin nor have I seen a B on a Nike.&nbsp; I can not help wondering if the R could be a letter form of A and would like to see other coins that speak to this matter.&nbsp; I do note that the three alphas on the coin are &#039;normal&#039;.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]537573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
