<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2713636, member: 31620&quot;]Whilst stating that I am not actively collecting Rome mint issues of Septimius Severus I do seem to be adding Legionary denarii as I find them.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– LEG III IT-AL, TR P COS in exergue, legionary eagle between two standards. Capricorns on standards.</p><p>Minted in Rome. A.D. 193</p><p>Reference:– BMCRE 10, RIC 7. RSC 262</p><p><br /></p><p>This one has lots of wear and seems to come from worn dies. What struck me was that the portrait seems quite Antonine in nature (or is it just my eyes). </p><p><br /></p><p>It was being mis-sold as the more common XIIII GEM M V but I suspect that this was laziness by the dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064sz_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
