<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 6453691, member: 31620&quot;]I am always on the look out for some of the earlier eastern issues of Septimius Severus to find examples that I don&#039;t have. I have had a long standing gap in the IMP II series with a Moneta Standing type. The gap was RIC 460b, which I have now filled with the follwoing coin:-</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– L SEPT SEV P-ERET AVG IMP - II, laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– M-ONETA AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopia</p><p>Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 194</p><p>Reference:– BMCRE p.109 * Note. RIC 460b. RSC 339a</p><p><br /></p><p>3.10 g. 19.01 mm. 0 degrees</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1257222[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is an obverse die match to the following coin:-</p><p><br /></p><p>Rev:– M-ONET AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopia</p><p>Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 194</p><p>Reference:- BMCRE -. RIC 459 note (citing RD). RSC -.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1257223[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I am also interested in the varied legend breaks that occur with this series as they help me identify die linkages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sa I also have a L SEPT SEV P-ERET AVG IMP I-I - MONET AVG</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1257226[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There are also variations in the middle of the obverse legend with PERT, PERTE and PERET being almost interchangable. The following is a PERT example of the type.</p><p><br /></p><p>BMCRE -. RIC -. RSC -.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1257227[/ATTACH] </p><p>My eastern obsession continues....</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
