Pescennius Niger Iustus and later changed it omitting The part using part of Pescennius&#039; name leaving us with VICTOR SEVER AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pescennius Niger &quot;IVS&quot; / VICTOR IVST AVG</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105169[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius / VICTOR IVST AVG</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105173[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius / VICTOR SEVER AVG</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105175[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And, of course,there is the Julia Domna version VICTOR IVST AVG - no male issued this legend with a seated Victory.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105177[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
