<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 7866777, member: 31620&quot;]This coin would be of little/no interest to most as it is numismatically and historically insignificant but it is significant to me in that it is the first coin of Septimius Severus I ever bought and only the second Roman coin that I had bought. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first two coins I bought were entirely egotistical in that they both represent Mars, the first was a MARS VLTOR denarius of Severus Alexander. Mars being the root of my Christian name - Martin. My collecting was entirely random for a while and it is strange looking back at it now to see how my collecting developed and evolved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:- L SEPT SEV AVG IMP XI PART MAX, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:- MARTI VICTORI, Mars standing right, holding spear and leaning on shield set on helmet</p><p>Minted in Rome, A.D. 198-200</p><p>References:- RIC 134, RSC 321a</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064a_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
