A correction for Severus

Septimius Severus, AD 193-211

This obv. die was used for a coin under Gentianus too, HrHJ (2015) 8.14.32.4 (AMNG 1266). Evidence that he was the successor of Auspex.

4 corrections for Asklepios

(1) #167 (coll. Scaevola) in this thread:
You can recognize Asklepios' nose and his eyes, making him depicted facing!
(2) Severus, HrHJ (2015) 8.14.20.2:
The depiction of this coin is very similar to that of #167 (coll. Scaevola). Asklepios is depicted
stg. facing!
(3) Caracalla, HrHJ (2015) 8.18.21.3:
When I have this coin in hand a close look with a magnifier shows that the locks of Asklepios'
head hair can be seen on both sides of his head. That is the evidence that he is depicted
facing.
(4) Caracalla, HrHJ (2015) 8.18.21.2:
This coin shows the same phenomenon like 8.18.21.3. Asklepios is depicted facing.

The description of all these 4 coins should be changed to "Asklepios stg. facing".

Thanks to Curtis Clay for his hints!
