<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3745530, member: 87200"]I agree with Doug - how we can be sure it's Septimius and not Serapis? As far as the description of the features, I am not sure that I agree with this. Don't see anything that jumps out as especially "mature" about the portrait, nor is there necessarily a "forked beard" - the description seems to extrapolate from images seen on coins and the Severan tondo. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1004612[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
