<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 8124419, member: 31620&quot;]I have had a bit of a lean year with regards to my collection and so it gives me great pleasure to add a coin to my Eastern Severan collection at the end of 2021.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect the early IMP VIII eastern issues which typically have the obverse legend L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIII but have a special liking for a sub-series that have the extended legend L SEPT SEVER PERT AVG IMP VIII. We have no idea why some have the extended legend but I am aware of at least 10 reverse types associated with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has the extended SEVER legend but is also of interest to me because it has a split end to the obverse legend VI-II with an additional dot on the end. </p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius Severus denarius</p><p>Obv:– L SEPT SEVER P-ERT AVG IMP VI-II., Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– FORT REDVC, Fortuna seated left holding rudder and cornucopia</p><p>Minted in Laodicea ad Mare, A.D. 196 – 197</p><p>References:– RIC -, RSC -, BMCRE -</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1414793[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has helped me confirm the reading of the following coin as they are obverse die matches.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064mz_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I did have one in my collection already but the quite different obverse legend break L SEPT SEVER PERT - AVG IMP VIII . also with the dot at the end makes it different enough for me to want both in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064ub_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
