It isn&#039;t in RIC and is only is in BMCRE as a note, citing Cohen. This coin confirms the coin matching that originally listed in Cohen as existing and I suspect is quite scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064rg_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>RIC and BMCRE do have this reverse type with the more usual SEV obverse legend.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– L SEPT SEV PER-T AVG IMP VII-I, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– MONET AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopiae</p><p>Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare.
