<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1562643, member: 19463&quot;]This is a typical late period Rome mint denarius.&nbsp; Septimius was emperor for a long time.&nbsp; In the early years, his foreign wars resulted in branch mints away from Rome and specialists like me tend to prefer those coins.&nbsp; Issues of the later years were all from Rome and tend to get ignored despite their good workmanship unless they are one of the very special reverses.&nbsp; I specialize in Septimius but easily 95% of my coins are from 193 to 196 AD and only a handful have the curled beard like yours.&nbsp; There are just so many that we all need to decide which we prefer.&nbsp; My later Rome mint coins are near the bottom of this page:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/mintrome.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/mintrome.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/mintrome.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to see the rest, just follow the links at the bottom of that page to the Septimius overview.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
