<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 4700912, member: 86498"]Septimius Severus Ae 30 Antioch in Pisidia Krzyzanowska XXXI/41 Rv. Victory flying right 205-211 A.D. 22.62 grms. 30mm[ATTACH=full]1154695[/ATTACH] Years ago when I was studying this coinage I noticed that the S R application was only found on the very large 30mm or so coins struck at this mint from Septimius through to Gordian III. Afterwards the module shrinks starting with the coins of Gordian but these have radiate crowns. The smaller denominations minted from Septimius through to Severus Alexander do not have the S R. At the time I thought it might actually might signify that the coin was the equivalent of a Roman sestertius. However again this is just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
