The silver denarius of Septimius Severus represents an important and widely collected series within Roman imperial coinage, issued during the reign of the emperor who established the Severan dynasty. His rule from 193 to 211 AD included civil wars for control of the empire, major military campaigns, and political changes that strengthened the position of the Roman army within the imperial system. This AR Denarius from the reign of Septimius Severus earned an Extremely Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, Roman Empire Septimius Severus AR Denarius Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Roman Empire Septimius Severus AR Denarius Coin comes in Extremely Fine condition. Coins with this grade exhibit light wear on the highest points, with nearly all of the original details still sharp and clear.
The denarii issued during the reign of Septimius Severus were produced at multiple mints, including Rome and the eastern mint traditionally identified as Laodicea ad Mare. Their substantial production reflected the considerable financial requirements of the civil wars through which Severus secured the imperial throne, as well as later Roman military campaigns against Parthia and in Britain.
The denarii of Septimius Severus feature a distinctive portrait series that makes the emperor readily identifiable within Roman imperial coinage. His obverse portraits commonly depict his carefully arranged full beard, mature facial features, and commanding appearance, reflecting the established visual language of imperial authority while giving the ruler an individualized identity. Portrait styles developed throughout his long reign and could also vary between mints and individual engravers. Reverse types are similarly diverse, frequently presenting military victories, religious imagery, divine favor, imperial virtues, and themes of dynastic continuity intended to reinforce the legitimacy and achievements of Severus and his family.
