Denarius (possibly plated) of Septimius Severus
|
(?Silver plated) denarius of Septimius Severus (193-211), VOTA SVSCEPTA XX, prototype from Rome Mint, AD 202-210. See RIC IV, 308.
The finder of the coin states that the coin is very dark green in colour. It does seem that there is a sign of a base-metal core at 7.30 (on the obverse). Both suggest that this is a plated copy but inspection of the actual coin would be needed to be certain. Copies of Severan period denarii are very common as site-finds in Britain.
