Septimius Severus denarius Emesa-style "Bona Eventvs"

[nummis durensis]

A new 'baby' in my collection  

A "BONA EVENTVS" - never see this mistake before. And also the things in the hand of Bonus don't seems on corn ears usually see with this type.

I find another example, from different dies, among my plaster casts: formerly coll. Rodger Bickford-Smith, probably now in BM.

Perhaps another example of the engravers getting confused between BONA SPES and BONVS EVENTVS whilst engraving which at it's most extreme led to a mix up of legends and personifications...

Septimius Severus denarius
 
Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right
Rev:– BONA SPES, Fides standing right holding basket of fruit and corn ears
Minted in Emesa, A.D. 194 - 195
References:– BMCRE -, RIC -, RSC -

A mix up with the reverse legend and reverse type. The reverse legend should match with the Spes type instead of Fides. 



and vice versa

Note this coin and Martin's last reverse mix-up have unusually flat S's and more pointy beards than usual for the period.  Has anyone seen this obverse die with any reverse?  Errors at the mint or unofficial???
