<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2288529, member: 31620"]Here is a new addition to my collection. I actively collect the earlier coinage of Septimius Severus from the mint labelled by RIC as Laodicea-ad-Mare. These eastern style coins have obverse legends ending IMP II and IMP VIII. This new addition comes from the earlier IMP II issue and comes with the slightly more interesting aspects (at least to some of us) of a broken end to the obverse legend (IMP - II) and the slighty odd though not uncommon PERET for PERT. Of more interest to me at least is the reverse type, which has "Victory walking <b>right</b>, holding wreath in left hand, <b>trophy </b>in right". This would appear to be an unusual type for Septimius Severus and I have not been able to find one in any of the major references.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– L SEPT SEV PE-RET AVG IMP -II, laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– VICT-O-R AVG, Victory walking right, holding wreath in left hand, trophy in right</p><p>Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare.
