My example was given to me by an anonymous and extremely generous Secret Saturn in 2019. It remains one of my favorite Severan coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1364092[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Septimius Severus, Roman Empire, AR denarius, 202–210 AD, Rome mint. Obv: SEVERVS PIVS AVG; head of Septimius Severus, laureate, r. Rev: INDVLGENTIA AVGG IN CARTH; Dea Caelestis, draped, riding r. on lion, holding thunderbolt in r. hand and sceptre in l. hand; below, water gushing from rock. 19mm, 3.32g. Ref: RIC IV Septimius Severus 266. </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
