rhj959 Posted October 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 I found this today in Lincolnshire, England. I must confess that I don't recognise the ruler. It is a shame it is a little debased which has become corroded. Can anyone identify it please? 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittwolff Posted October 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 I would say this one from the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/septimius_severus/RIC_0119a.jpg 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Conduitt Posted October 22, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2022 Nice find. Quite a lot of his seem to be found in Britain as individual finds, and they are usually in a worse state. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septimius Severus Denarius minted in Laodicea ad Mare 198 AD Reverse you can see seated Salus with SALVTI AVGG for Saluti Augustorum (To the health of the emperors). For the health to Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla after the war against Clodius Albinus (197) and the beginning of the 2nd war against the Parthian (198). Very historical coin. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhj959 Posted October 22, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Thank you 🙂 It's great to walk over a coin that nobody has held for close to 1800 years. I only find about one denarius per year so I will treasure it, just like the others I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtislclay Posted October 27, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Nice find! Style and fabric suggest that the mint is Rome, not new-style Eastern ("Laodicea"). Edited October 27, 2022 by curtislclay 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
