                                Description

     This piece was minted in 193 AD, during the first turbulent year
     of the reign of Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193-211 AD.
     Septimius Severus was one of three provincial governors who
     answered the call of an outraged public to oust the shamefully
     elected Didius Julianus, who literally had bought the throne in
     an auction. He was first to arrive in Rome, and easily dispensed
     with the deserted Julianus, who was beheaded in his palace. He
     then dealt with the forces of the other two governors, and became
     master of the Roman world. This type depicts the laureate head of
     Septimius Severus facing right, with legends
     IMP.CAE.L.SEP.SEV.PERT.AVG. The reverse type features Victory
     walking left, holding wreath and palm, with legends
     VICT.AVG.TR.P.COS. Coin shows light surface granularity, and is a
     little off center, but otherwise grades F+, with clear devices
     and most legends visible. A nice yet affordable example of the
     type, a variety of RSC-682. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders of $20 or
     more. For more ancients, please visit our WWW page at
