I recently acquired this
denarius from S.Severus, which was completely misattributed by the
auction firm, since they claim it a RIC 511b
Obv:
IMP CAE L
SEP SEV PERT AVG ? CO?, laureate
bust of Septimius right
Rev: BONI EVENTUS,
Bonus Eventus standing left, holding basket of fruit and
corn ears.
I am having a
bit of a difficulty identifying it, due also to some worn legends...
RIC 347/352 cannot be, since the end of the
obverse legend does not match
RIC 369 I doubt it, since do not manage to read anything after CO, does not seem to leave space for
COS II as stated for this coin.
RIC 447 I believe not, since I read CO, and this one ends with
IMP IIRIC 468/474 the same as above, only here ends with
IMP VII/IMP
VIII respectively
Unpublished in RIC? Or am I reading the worn
obverse legend wrong?
Does someone have a better guess? Would you venture a guess for RIC (and for BM
vol.V for that matter?)
Thanks!
