I've recently acquired a coin of Septimius Severus that apparently shows the fifth labor of Hercules and was wondering if anyone could help with attribution?

Obv: AVT [KË CEÐ] CEVHPOC Ð
Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Rev: HPAKËHAC EN ÐONTÙ
Naked Hercules advancing right, holding a 3-tined rake to clean the stables of King Augias.

30 mm / 15.7 g

A very nice find! Neither Waddington, Recueil Général, nor Voegtli, Bilder der Heldenepen in der kaiserzeitlichen Griechischen Münzprägung, know this type for Septimius, but it is known to exist for Geta, RG p. 369, no. 161. My RG copy is not good enough to check a possible die match, unfortunately.
