Because the obv. legend of the depicted coin is partially unreadable it is well possible that it is from the same die.
I think the rev. legend of the depicted coin is VP AVR GALLOV too. You can see the round head of the R before GALLOV.

Pick: It is remarkable that with the name of Flavius Ulpianus much fewer coins of Severus are known than from Caracalla or Geta; it is probably allowed to conclude that Ulpianus has taken the administration of Moesia inferior under the three Augusti and then after the death of Severus has continued it a fairly long time under his sons.

The strange object is not a kantharos and not a bunch of grapes. We have discussed it on FORVM and the most likely suggestion was a drinking horn. On a coin of Gordian III from Berytos Dionysos holds a rhyton (BMC 245).
Additional comment of Pat Lawrence: The head of Septimius looks like the work of that surviver from Commodus's worst dies who did anonymous Septimius in the time of Auspex (and, of course, possibly later—though we have no signed ones as evidence—since a change of governor might not entail getting rid of a reliable engraver who could make usable dies). We know from his Apollo Sauroktonos that he sometimes put into hands shapes that might be ivy or snake or whatever.
