Dear Charlie and Board,

In addition to pouring over endless Peloponnesian portraits of Septimius Severus, I also tried approaching the coin from a few different angles.  In the end, I finally snagged a probable obverse die match for Marcus Aurelius in Cassandrea!

Whew!  Goodnight from Michigan.

Thank you again Mark! Sorry to lead you on the wrong trail but I thought for sure this was from Peloponnesos.

Much appreciated,
Charlie
