pastpost Valued Member France 383 Posts	Posted 07/19/2024 08:31 am Dear friends, Please help me to find any info of the Sept. Severus AR Drachm (20 mm, 2.50 g) The drachm with the same (I think so) reverse I found is Caracalla AR Drachm, Petra https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2816879 Reverse: Tyche, turreted, standing left, holding baetyl in extended right hand and cradling trophy in left arm. But there is no info about Sept. Severus drachm. Any info or link is welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

Note what is said about this Geta: "SYRIA, Decapolis. Petra. Geta, as Caesar. AR Drachm (3.23 gm). P CEPT GE - TA CEB, laureate head right / DHMAPET VPAG, Tyche, turreted, standing left, holding baetyl and trophy. Butcher, "Two Notes on Syrian Silver of the Third Century AD," in NumChron 1989, -. In his study, Butcher was able to locate on seven specimens of this issue, six for Caracalla and one for Julia Domna. Very rare" https://www.forumancientcoins.com/g...chmPetra.jpg Edited by louisvillekyshop 07/19/2024 10:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 07/19/2024 3:23 pm That's almost certainly not a Geta portrait - or a Caracalla one for that matter. Too much beard. I read the legend as ACE[...]/OYH[...]CEB, which is consistent with something like A CEΠT CEOYH... CEB for Septimius Severus. I suspect it's a Septimius Severus version of a similar type to the Caracalla and Geta types linked in this thread (there's also a Julia Domna version out there but I couldn't find a Septimius one).

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 07/19/2024 11:36 pm january1may; I just posted the Geta information to say the family is there and his, like I said, might be quite unique being Septimius Severus. But it is quite believable that it is because of the others coins of the family found there. So I was only posting the forvm Geta because I can't find his coin of Septimius Severus.
