My first post on this forum. Why not a denarius from Septimius Severus.

Septimius Severus, denarius.
Rome mint, 202 AD.
RIC 248, RSC1.
17 mm, 3.3 g.
Obv. SEVERVS PIVS AVG, laureate head of Septimius Severus right.
Rev. ADVENT AVGG, Septimius on horseback left with raised hand & spear; before him, soldier holding vexillum & restraining the horse by its bridle.
