<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3132934, member: 75937&quot;]As in the case of her husband Aurelian, several mints struck coins in the name of Severina. Her portrait varies from mint to mint and occasionally between issues at the same mint (see Antioch, bottom). I&#039;ve managed to acquire at least one of her coins from each mint with the exception of Lugdunum. Here&#039;s my Severina portrait gallery arranged by mint.
