Another example of a parallel issue for
members of the imperial family, this time for 3 of them. Possibly a copy for
Geta will turn up as well.
Note:Dr. Jekov pointed out to me that the coin of
Aurelius Gallus with Kybele for
Septimius Severus was already listed in
Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020) under No. 8.14.31.1. I don't know how I missed the illustration on page 103. Maybe it's my age?
I
had to delete the number #099.
