<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2987718, member: 31620&quot;]I don&#039;t currently actively collect the later eastern issues of Septimius Severus but like to collect some of the oddities when I see them. I recently bought a mixed lot of 10 denarii just to obtain one coin. This coin. Until I saw it in the lot of denarii I hadn&#039;t know that the type existed from Laodicea. This is a common enough type from Rome but this coin is distinctly eastern in style. I started looking and found another on Barry&#039;s website from a different pair of dies. I suspect it to be relatively scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius Severus Denarius</p><p>Obv:– SEVERVS PIVS AVG, laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– PART MAX P M TR P VIIII, two captives seated at foot of trophy</p><p>Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 202</p><p>Reference:– RIC IV -; BMCRE -; RSC -.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.94 gms. 0 degrees. 20.31 mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]736392[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The lot cost me my normal coin budget for a few months and so I might slow down buying for a while while I sell the remainder of the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
