                        ROMAN EMPIRE: Clodius Albinus as Caesar. AD 193-195. AE 
                        sestertius (16.28 gm).

                        ROMAN EMPIRE. Clodius Albinus, as Caesar (AD 193-195). 
                        Orichalcum sestertius (16.28 gm). Rome, AD 195. D CLOD 
                        SEPT ALBIN CAES, bare head right / CONCORDIA S C, 
                        Concordia seated left, holding patera and cornucopia. 
                        BMCRE 483. Cohen 7. RIC 62. Green patina. Extremely rare 
                        in this grade. Extremely fine, reverse weakly struck 

                        This reverse is apparently the final type on the 
                        sestertii of Clodius Albinus, before the mint of Rome 
                        ceased to strike for him ca. summer 195 (unpublished 
                        chronology of C. Clay). The choice of Concordia was 
                        probably suggested by the increasing lack of harmony 
                        between Septimius and his Caesar! 
                        Estimated Value: $ 7,500
