Neat Septimius Severus coin (but unfortunately not mine)
« on: September 02, 2021, 08:34:41 pm »
I saw this while browsing auction catalogues and the lust for it was very strong.  Unfortunatly, a rare and valuable enough issue I will likely never convince myself to acquire one - but worth sharing here because it is one of the few denarius reverses from the Severan Dynasty depicting a building you can still visit and identify.

The reverse depicts the Victory Arch of Septimius Severus, which is just a short walk from the Colisseum in Rome
