<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 773786, member: 9204&quot;]Equestrian types are very common on Roman coins. Usually, they bear the legend ADVENTVS AVG, commemorating the entry of the Emperor into the city after a time away. There&#039;s also the very common late Roman type with a soldier spearing a falling horseman. Somehow, I sold every one of these that I had! So my collection is currently riderless. </p><p><br /></p><p>But howabout someone riding a lion, instead?</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/Septimius_Severus_AR_denarius%2C_202-210_AD%2C_Rome.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Septimius Severus</p><p>AR denarius – 19mm</p><p>Rome, 202-210 AD</p><p>Head, laureate, r.</p><p>SEVERVS PIVS AVG</p><p>the Dea Caelestis riding r., on a lion, holding thunderbolt and sceptre: below, waters gushing from rock</p><p>INDVLGENTIA AVGG IN CARTH</p><p>RIC 266[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
