<p>[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 4340784, member: 91820"]I think that Septimius was angry with the Senate over their support of Clodius Albinus - not that the Senate had any say over the coinage - but perhaps it was symbolic. But it led to all of the great provincial coinage in the period. Or perhaps he needed the Rome mint to focus on silver and gold - again to the delight of collectors thousands of years later![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
