Message:: [QUOTE="PMONNEY, post: 2949843, member: 82829"]I forgot to include the coins' descriptions relating to the above. As you can see there is two COS II (one with  Parthian prisoner on the reverse, indicating IMP V, perhaps an error !). SEPTIMIVS SEVERVS. Laureate head r. "L SEPT SEV AVG IMP XI PART MAX". Rev.: Victory walking l. holding wreath and palm. "VICTORIAE AVGG FEL". C.719, BMC. 139-40 & 678-9, RIC. 144b & 516. Rome: 198-200. AR.D.(3.484 gr.) g. VF SEPTIMIVS SEVERVS. Laureate head r. "IMP CAE L SEV PERT AVG COS II", Rev. "T.R.P.III.IMP.V.COS II" Captive (Parthian) seated on ground, facing r. hands tied behind back, in front, bow, quiver and two oval shields, nothing in exergual space.
