<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 6452686, member: 86498"]Septimius Severus Ae 27 195-196 AD Tyana Obv Head right laureate. Rv Brahma Bull standing right 13.66 grms 27 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1257131[/ATTACH]What I find really remarkable about this coin is the care and attention to detail in the presentation of the reverse. That bull is magnificent. Sometimes in the striking of provincial coins it is the reverse that gets the most attention not the obverse and this appears to be the case with this coin. That animal is so powerfully drawn you can almost feel its presence[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
