It is possible that under this type AV KL is hidden too.

This depiction shows that it is not Thanatos active exstinguishing the torch but Eros tired after a stressful night!

Indeed! As do I... Then too, I so love & admire all Septimius' coinage. Coins like this one serve so well to remind again what a joy it is even to just see the wealth of types of his bronze coins.
