An interesting and rare overstrike on a denarius of Pescennius Niger.
You can see parts of the 'old' legend "CTOR" on the reverse.

Roger A. Bickford-Smith - The imperial mints in the east for Septimius Severus:
"[...] It appears that through the mint initially experimented with overstriking Pescennius Niger denarii, this was rapidly abandoned, presumably because oft the unacceptability of the possibility of a visible undertype. Known overstrikes are very rare, however, so there may have been a more practical reason such as weight or alloy control. [...]"

Poor but rare!

In my opinion Rome style and not "Emesa"!
Perhaps unofficial? (weight!)

Doug Smith: "After most of this page had been posted, a coin became available that casts a question on the separation and dating of the 'Emesa' mint issues. This coin could be barbaric or unofficial (and therefore of no significance) but the style of the obverse portrait and the reverse Venus seems very similar to the Emesa coins (particularly the late version Venus from the back shown above). The obverse legend is IVLIA AVGVSTA which should date to 196 AD or after the closing of the 'Emesa' mint under traditional scholarship. Perhaps the closing date of this mint should be pushed back allowing this coin to be the last product of this series. However the use of the earlier legend VENERI VICTR adds weight to the theory that the coin is not official. My Questions page includes a coin of Caracalla as Caesar paired with an earlier looking 'Emesa' reverse. Is there a connection? Students whose opinions I value fail to see this as Eastern and may be right but I am still tending to consider this an official 'Emesa' product of great interest. Certainly more study is needed before this series will be understood. "
