<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 4545780, member: 57495&quot;]Sep Sev and Clodius facing off on the same coin?&nbsp; Fantastic!&nbsp; And with Glykon on the reverse?&nbsp; Even better!&nbsp; What a great coin, Doug. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is indeed <i>the</i> coin illustrated in Varbanov, which records two other reverses with the vis-a-vis portraits, however, the other two are both eagles (one has the eagle standing on a thunderbolt, the other on a wreath).&nbsp; He lists all as R8 (5-20 examples).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Coincidentally, one of my most recent pickups has the same reverse as yours, which was the reason I got it - because of Glykon turning up wearing his wig and fish tail.&nbsp; And though I wish now it had the same obverse as yours, I&#039;m going to shamelessly show it anyway. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/commodus-pautalia-glycon-00274q00-jpg.1123456/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>COMMODUS</b></p><p>AE23. 6.41g, 23mm.
