Dear friends, I want to share my last acquisition. Rare Denarius Septimius Severus RIC IV Septimius Severus 348. Obverse legend: IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG. Head of Septimius Severus, laureate, right Reverse legend: ET IA II. Roma (?), helmeted, draped, seated left, holding palladium in right hand and sceptre in left hand http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.....348?lang=enCoin was found in Italy. Cleaning required but I will not clean the coin. It will remain in the collection in the state it was found without interference. I did not even dream that I would hold such a rarity in my hands   |
