[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7524917, member: 85693"]Nice coin. Along the same lines, I just got my first quarter follis, of Severus II, and I wanted to let you know how useful and enjoyable your website is on this subject - and thank you for putting it together. I used some of your site's information to put on the back of my flip for this coin (see below). Keep up the good work: [URL]http://augustuscoins.com/ed/qf/[/URL] [B] [ATTACH=full]1299360[/ATTACH] Severus II Æ Quarter Follis (305-306 A.D.) Siscia mint[/B] FL VAL SEVERVS NOB C, laureate head right / GENIO POP-VLI ROMANI, Genius standing left, modius on head, naked except for chlamys holding patera & cornucopiae, SIS in ex. RIC VI Siscia 170a; Cohen 32. (2.24 grams / 19 x 17 mm) "In AD 305-306, just as the first tetrarchy was ending and the second beginning, the Roman mint of Siscia struck an AE type of unusual denomination...
