<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2918190, member: 31620"]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'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.
