<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7564333, member: 86498&quot;]Septimius Severus Ar Tetradrachm Laodicae ad Mare 207-209 AD Obv. Bust right laureate cuirassed with gorgoneion on breast plate. Rv Eagle standing facing head left wings spread. Prieur 1141 This coin illustrated 13.55 grms 28 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1304247[/ATTACH]Back in January of 2019 (Yes at the NYINC) I saw this coin but did not pay it too much attention as I had other projects on my plate. However it did leave an impression and after I went home I came to the conclusion that yes I had to purchase the coin. So about two months later after seeing the coin on a dealer website I purchased the coin. Even though the image does retain something of an eastern vibe there is a&nbsp; unabashed flamboyant virtuosity about it. There is nothing subtle or refined about this image as one might expect from an image created in Rome. Instead we see a celebration by an artist confident in his own skill and with a sufficiently large canvas to work with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
