[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 5152594, member: 31620"]i bought this coin a few years back. [B]Septimius Severus, denarius, Ancient imitation [/B] Obv:– L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP II, laureate head right Rev:– AEQVIT AVG TR P COS II, Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia I will freely admit that I bought this coin hoping that it would be a scarce Laodicea type combined with a hybrid reverse of Pertinax. Having discussed the coin with Curtis Clay he is of the opinion that :- "I think I would consider the coin to be an ancient imitation. The style is not right for the IMP II series. That exact rev. type of Pertinax is known on authentic Alexandrian denarii of SS, but there with the obv. legend is that of 193 (probably the coin BMC and RIC refer to as hybrid), and again the coin is in different style." [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064ho_img~0.jpg[/IMG] Now some years later I have stumbled across this example from the same obverse die. Obv:– L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP II, laureate head right Rev:– LIBERAL AVG COS, Liberalitas, standing left, holding abacus and cornucopia This coin copies a reverse type from Rome from A.D. 193 [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064us_img.JPG[/IMG] This is the second time that I have found die linked barbs from this period. Obv:– IMP CAE L SEPT ERT AVT COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– VICTOR SEV-E-R AVG, Victory walking left, holding wreath in right hand, palm in left [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064ol_img.jpg[/IMG] and Obv:– IMP CAE L SEPT ERT AVT COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– IOVL SER ?? AVG, Jupiter?, seated left [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064ff_img.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
