<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 7974033, member: 128351&quot;]The <i>adventus </i>coin was minted when Severus came back from Gaul where he had crushed his opponent Albinus and was acclaimed Imperator for the 8th time in 196. After some time in Rome where he strengthened his regime and condemned senators who had sided with Albinus, he motivated his army probably by granting them some <i>donativum </i>(hence his 9th imperatorial acclamation) and left again for the East in 197, embarking in Brindisi and sailing directly to Syria (cf. Historia Augusta) to invade Mesopotamia. This departure is advertised by the <i>profectio</i> coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
