June-July 193 because of straight not curly hair in portrait above wreath. Third coin is, of course, COS II series.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First coin is, however, not new style Syrian but Rome, although the same type was also struck by the new style Syrian mint, e.g. BMC pl. 44.13. The main difference is stylistic, which should become clear to you if you compare your Rome-mint example with the BM&#039;s new style Syrian pieces of Septimius on BMC pl. 44-46. Rev. of your coin is a bit crude and might make one think &quot;Syrian&quot;, but the obv. is unmistakably in Rome-mint style.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
