<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3542432, member: 97383&quot;]Since most of the coins posted on this thread are denarii I&#039;d like to post my only denarius of Septimius Severus below. It is a common type struck at the Rome Mint in AD 201, 19 mm, that I bought slabbed at a Heritage auction. The reverse of the coin intrigued me with Severus sacrificing over a flaming altar &amp; holding a spear in his left hand. The die has been superbly engraved, leaving no doubt the standing figure is Severus. The reverse inscription: <b>RESTITVTOR VRBIS</b> translates <i>Restorer of the City (Rome). </i>Sear 6357.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]941696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]941697[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
