<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2537903, member: 19463"]I certainly hope so! Severans make a very good addiction. This is a nice one. For the record, I have about 500 from the family and do not have this one (most are Eastern mints from the early part of the reign - there are soooo many ways to be addicted). Consider selecting the Domna and boys coins carefully to look good with this one and not just rushing to the first one that comes along. You have decisions ahead. Do you want all denarii or a series of different denominations. Do you care about the reverse (this is a nice one) or just the portrait. Whatever you decide is right as long as it is what brings you pleasure. Be careful, though, Caracalla had a wife Plautilla. Septimius declared himself emperor as the avenger of Pertinax and battles other claimants to power who also issued coins to feed your addiction. Anyone who 'completes' a set of any ancient coins is usually using a very weak meaning of the word.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
