Good find. I have a real soft spot for these Mars types.

Here is my RIC 406A - MART VICTOR

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

Here is a RIC 405 - COS II - MARTI VICT

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

Some unlisted variations -

COS II - MARTI VICTO

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

COS II - MARTI VICTOR

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

COS II - MART VICT

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

There are some odd - shortened obverse legend variations which also occur with the reverse type.

IMP CA L SE SEV PER AG COS II - MARTI VICTORI

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

IMP CA L SE SEV PER AVG COS II - MARTI VICTORI

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

Also occurs COS I - MARTI VICT

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

and AVG II C - MARTI VICT (different reverse dies)

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A
S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

COS II also has a different, unpublished Mars type -

MART VICTOR, Mars, in military attire, standing left, holding Victory and spear

S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A

My RIC 406A illustrated above is from the same obverse die as one of the examples in the BM. I would have missed that if not for this post so Thank you.

I strongly suspect that their other example is in fact MARTI VICTOR. I will need to search for a die match to confirm but the placement would be very similar to my MARTI VICTOR above.

You're not kidding! You could write the reference with those coins.

Mars strutting with a trophy over his shoulder seems to have been a very long-lived reverse. I have none with Septimius Severus but there are nearly 300 years of them...

Marcus Aurelius Denarius, 173-174
S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A
Rome. Silver, 18mm, 3g. Marcus Aurelius, laureate, right, draped; M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXVIII. Mars walking right, holding spear in his right hand and trophy over his left shoulder, IMP VI COS III (RIC III 286).


Probus Antoninianus, 277
S.-Severus-Mart-Victor-Ric-IV-406A
Lugdunum. Bronze, 24mm, 4.2g. IMP C PROBVS P F AVG. Mars walking right, holding spear and trophy, MARS VICTOR / II (RIC 38).
Ex Pamphill Hoard 2011.
