Roman AR Denarius Sept. Severus (193-211 AD) VF NGC (Random Coin)
Struck during a transformative era of the Roman Empire, this silver denarius features the profile of Emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193 to 211 AD. The obverse displays a detailed bust of the emperor, while the reverse depicts various gods and goddesses revered during his reign. These deities served as powerful symbols of divine favor and authority across the vast Roman world. Septimius Severus is remembered for his deep connection to the Roman military. He significantly raised the annual pay of his soldiers, increasing their wage from 375 to 500 denarii. His final counsel to his sons famously emphasized the importance of maintaining strong relationships, showing generosity to the military, and ignoring all others. This certified Very Fine silver coin offers a tangible connection to the soldier-emperor who reshaped the Roman state.
