Septimus Severus Silver Denarius

Hi TC!

There are quite a number of rightward facing, emperor on horseback, spear raised, types on the reverse of Septimius denarii. Have you checked this link?: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...verus/t.html If you search the page for the word 'horseback' it will take you neatly through about 28 examples. You can exclude a scattering because they are gold or provincial, leftward facing, no spear etc....leaving about 7 possible alternatives. Because it is so worn it is going to be a bit tough to narrow down further and you probably stand the best chance with it in hand - but even then...

Go to the page for septimius severus.

Once loaded, press CTRL F and put in horseback to the dialogue box.

Then press the little down arrow and it will scroll through them.

V.C>, P.P., ski. thank you ALL for your assistance.

Ski, I would have loved the coin to have been RIC 106, or Ric 494, - so close but Severus' leg is bent back on both of those coins and on mine it is straight down. Also his hair tie (it has a name) is a different shape. Apart from those things it is almost a match. Thanks would have saved me a lot of work if I had found a match.

V.C. I didn't know that you could do that (and I imagine that a few readers didn't either so thanks for that help.

P.P. - Great tip. I think that V.C. had it too. I tried not only putting 'horseback' in there but I added 'right' as well and it narrowed it down even further (from 28 to 13 - I think).
I did notice that if I stopped at any of the choices for a closer look, I had to go back to the beginning and start again. Short of writing down all of the (column) numbers BEFORE I go looking, is there any other way of avoiding the 'restart' please?

Thanks, Med (sorry, I'm old). Please forgive my ignorance but I use 'Google Chrome'.

Is that my browser, and if so are the 'tags' in the same place?
