Obv:- L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIII, Laureate head right Rev:- ARAB ADIABENIC, Victory advancing left holding wreath and palm Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 196-197 Reference(s) - C 52 var. BMCRE p 110 var. RIC 466 corr.(RIC 466 (R) is IMP VII but should really be IMP VIII but the reverse type for 466 is incorrectly described as wreath and trophy whereas this type is wreath and palm) On the following example the engraver has forgotten the palm. This has been confirmed on otgher examples of this reverse die. This one has a spelling error on the reverse Obv:- L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIII, Laureate head right Rev:- ARAB DIABENIC (sic), Victory advancing left holding wreath and palm Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 196-197 Reference(s) - C -. BMCRE -. RIC - 2.63 gms. 19.41 mm. 0 degrees. Report this Post to the Staff
