<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3237530, member: 56859&quot;]I have a dog of a Severina from Roman Egypt from a mixed lot purchased 5 years ago but it is worth keeping for a couple of reasons.&nbsp; 1) Severina may have had sole reign for a while after her hubby Aurelian&#039;s death so this coin may have been struck when she was ruling Rome, and 2) I&#039;m a hog when it comes to coins of Roman Egypt <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; The mixed lot was mostly Ptolemaic bronzes, including my largest.&nbsp; There were three unadvertised tets of Roman Egypt in the lot and this was one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/severinaalextetyear7dikaiosynemed-jpg.302678/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>EGYPT, Alexandria</b></p><p><b>Severina, 275 AD (?)</b></p><p>Potin tetradrachm, 20 mm, 8.5 gm</p><p>Obv: OVΛΠCEVHPINACEB; draped bust right, hair brushed straight with long plait running along the back of head and tucked under stephane</p><p>Rev: ETOVC Z; Dikaiosyne standing facing, head left, scales in right hand, cornucopiae in left</p><p>Ref:&nbsp; Emmett 3964.7</p><p><i>Ex Professor James R.
