[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7536961, member: 75937"]I recently acquired this follis of Severus II. Despite the somewhat weak reverse strike, I think it's a nice example. Of all the legitimate tetrarchs, Sev Deuce's tenure was the shortest and most unfortunate, making his coins a bit harder to acquire than those of his colleagues of the same reverse type. This reverse, Sacra Moneta, was issued in the name of all the tetrarchs and was issued by several mints throughout the empire. For an in-depth look at this reverse type, I highly recommend [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]'s [URL='http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/SACRAMONETA.html']web page about them[/URL]. [ATTACH=full]1301146[/ATTACH] Severus II, Caesar 1 May AD 305 - 25 July, 306. Roman billon follis, 9.10 g, 27.1 mm, 11 h. Rome, third officina, c. AD 305. Obv: SEVERVS NOB CAES, laureate head, right.
