Nice Emesan SeptSev
« on: February 26, 2012, 05:55:38 am »
Here's a nice recent addition to my collection, a Septimius Severus from Emesa  :)

Obv IMP CA L SE SEVER AG COS II
Rev FORT REDVC

Compare my specimen to the one listed on Wildwinds:

They are from the same die pair. The Wildwinds example is mine.

I like this obverse die. I have it with three different reverse dies so far.....

I updated the photos of these today.

Note the correct reading of the obv. legend, given by Martin's three specimens:

IMP CA L SE SEV - PER AG COS II.

Not SEVER AG as you read, but SEV - PER AG.
