A more severe Severus: My first coins of Septimius Severus from Emesa

My next newest eastern Severan comes from one of my "flyspecking" areas of the COS II issue. There are a whole host of odd, short legend varieties, that I have made into a specialist sub-collection. I have nine different obverse dies in this sub-series in my collection and and trying to study die linkages in and between the issues.

This new coin is the third that I have with this particular obverse die.

Obv:– IM-P CA L SEP SE-V PER AVG COS II, laureate head right
Rev:– M-ONE-T AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales in right hand, cornucopiae in left.
Minted in Emesa. A.D. 194 - 195
Reference:– RIC -. BMCRE -.

3.78 gms, 18.77 mm. 0 degrees
