                                Description

     This piece was minted for Thrace, Anchialus 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. The obverse of this type depicts the laureate, draped, and
     cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, with Greek
     legends for A.K.SEPTI.SEVEROS.PER. The reverse type features
     Homonia (Concord) standing left, holding patera and sceptre, with
     Greek legends for OVLPIANON.AGKALEON. Coin shows light surface
     granularity, but otherwise grades a nice F+, with reddish patina.
     A nice example of this provincial type! 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. For more ancients, please visit our WWW
