[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8123878, member: 19463"]Fortuna Reduci is one of the more common and varied 'Emesa' types. In addition to the standing with rudder, we have seated with rudder [ATTACH=full]1414583[/ATTACH] seated with branch [ATTACH=full]1414588[/ATTACH] standing as Pax sacrificing [ATTACH=full]1414585[/ATTACH] standing a Hilaritas with long palm [ATTACH=full]1414586[/ATTACH] Add to that all the legend variations and minor details, There are really quite a few for those who want the 'set'. This is the only one I have seen with cross supports under the chair. Anyone have one? [ATTACH=full]1414587[/ATTACH] My most rare is the left facing obverse with Pax sacrificing reverse. I also would like to see others of this type. [ATTACH=full]1414589[/ATTACH] Of course, Laodicea has some of these as well. Hilaritas [ATTACH=full]1414592[/ATTACH] sacrificing [ATTACH=full]1414593[/ATTACH] two cornucopia [ATTACH=full]1414594[/ATTACH] Several of the variations were also made for Julia Domna but this one make the allowable limit of ten per post. [ATTACH=full]1414600[/ATTACH] I would not call the type 'scarce' but coins as nice as the OP coin certainly are not seen every day and some of the minor varieties are rare or even unique. I got most of mine 20-30 years ago when most collectors considered Septimius not worth collecting. I remember one dealer ar a show in the nineties that told me that the only collectable Septimius were the late period Rome mint SEVERVS PIVS AVG coins and that the rest were of poor style and should be avoided.
