[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 8264431, member: 31620"]I have had a quiet start to the year and I don't actively chase after many of the common Eastern COS II issues of Septimius Severus. I used to actively chase after as many of these as I could but soon realised that this was a largely meaningless activity but along the way accumulated several examples of many types. RIC 424 is described as follows:- Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– VICT AVG, Victory walking left, holding wreath in right hand, palm in left Minted in Emesa, A.D. 194 - 195 References:– BMCRE 395, RIC 424, RSC 675a I had gather 4 examples over the years including some die matches [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064bb_img.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064rv_img.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064lu_img.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064pn_img.jpg[/IMG] As part of my quiet start to the year I was performing my regular monitoring for new coins and saw another example of RIC 424 that I bought because the obverse die was familiar to me and is quite distinctive. My reason for purchase was that I have two other reverse types linked to this obverse die, MART VICT and CERER FRVG. Sometimes when I am having a quiet time collecting I just need a reason/excuse to buy a new coin.
