Sept. Severus Emesa Mint Romae Aeterna(E)

I have a couple of the POMA variety and think that the ROMA variety is quite a bis scarcer.

Here are my example of POMA - BMCRE pg. 97. * note. RIC 414 note.




Both my examples seem to come from a single reverse die.

Both RIC and BMCRE cite Cohen as the source of the ROMA spelling, Cohen cites Paris with a SEPT obverse legend variety but SEPT is noted as likely being in error. Unfortunately I cannot check the Paris example.

I suspect that there were very few dies created with this reverse type and that they are all quite scarce.

Note that a similar type also exists in Alexandria
