<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2900867, member: 32619&quot;]Some more Septimus Severus provincials I would like to share.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the astronomical theme to the coin below and I find it interesting because I don&#039;t know what it means:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-61-septimus-severus-astronomical.3600/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Septimius Severus, Nikopolis ad Istrum, AD 139-211</p><p>AE, 3.11g, 16.5mm; 2h</p><p>Obv.: AV KAI [CE] CEVHPOC, laureate head right</p><p>Rev.: NIKOΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ ΠΡΟCICT; crescent and one star</p><p>Ref.: AMNG 1436v; Nikopolis BMC 17</p><p>Unsure why Wildwinds does not include the final C on the obv even though all the pictures they have include it. My coin includes it so the C is mentioned in the obv legend. Also, the [CE] is off flan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please excuse the bluryness...I took this photo under very austere conditions. Also, it&#039;s &quot;fully nippled&quot;!</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-83-septimius-severus-hermes.4073/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Septimius Severus, AD 193-211</p><p>AE, 2.9g, 16.5mm; 8h; Nikopolis ad Istrum</p><p>Obv.: [AV KAI CE] - CEVHPOC; laureate head right</p><p>Rev.: [NIK]OΠOΛI - T.

My limited research indicates that there is also the same reverse type for Geta and that is high on my want list. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-149-septimus-ares.4739/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Septimius Severus, AD 193-211</p><p>AE28, 13.4g, 6h; Rabbath-Moba mint, CY 105 = AD 210/11.</p><p>Obv.: AVT K L CEOVHΡOC; Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus right, seen from behind.</p><p>Rev.: ΡABBAΘMΩBΩN ΘEOC AΡHC; Ares standing facing on high base with pilasters, between two flaming altars, holding dagger and shield with spear.Date P-E across fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
