<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2918190, member: 31620&quot;]There is a sub-series of denarii from the eastern mints of Septimius Severus that is quite enigmatic. The style is not consistent with the COS II series and is more aligned with the IMP II series but until more evidence comes out it is impossible to definitively place them. It isn&#039;t even possible to link them all to each other. I chase after every example I can and have a database of every example I have been able to find. The following coin came up for identification on another board about three years ago. I assisted in identifying it and mentioned that I collect these. The owner of the coin has decided to part with it ans so two and a bit years on it now sits in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv:– IMP CA L SE SEV PER AV COS II, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– FORT R-D-DVC, Fortuna, seated left, holding rudder and cornucopia</p><p>Minted in Emesa, A.D. 194-195</p><p>References:– RIC -, RSC -, BMCRE -</p><p><br /></p><p>2.81g, 18.68mm, 0o </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064tg_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I will see if I can publish my findings on these online over the Christmas holidays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
