                                Description

     This piece was minted in 197 AD, during 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 L.SEPT.SEV.PERT.AVG.IMP.X. The reverse type
     features Mars standing left, right foot on helmet or cuirass,
     holding branch and spear. The legends read MARTI.PACIFERO. Coin
     is struck on a typical smallish Severan flan, but otherwise
     grades F/F+, with clear devices and legends where struck up. A
     very decent example of the type, catalouged as RSC-315. All coins
     guaranteed genuine without limitations. 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. Member ANA, PAN. Thanks!

                      Bidding is closed for this item.

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what?

  1. Contact each other. The seller (praetorian) and the high bidder
     (dmarnold) should contact each other within three business days to
     discuss payment and shipping details.

  2. Leave feedback for the other party once the the seller has received
     the payment and the winning bidder has received the item.
     Leave feedback to seller - Leave feedback to bidder.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the
total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning
bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the
seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met.
The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the
seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3
business days, the seller may contact the next highest bidder. Therefore,
if the high bidder does not contact the seller within 3 business days of
the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be
at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning,
both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
