Bold portrait, superb bright deep olive green patina. About EF. Septimius Severus waged his last military campaign against the Caledonians on the northern border of Britain, where he himself died at his campaign headquarters at York in February AD 211. Among those who accompanied him on the campaign were his wife Julia Domna, as well as his sons, Caracalla and Geta. Septimius and Caracalla commanded this campaign; Caracalla became sole commander after his father had fallen ill. The two often did not agree on matters of strategy, and we are told that at one point Caracalla became so angry that he appeared ready to stab his father in the back before the whole of the army. Upon Severus' death at York in February AD 211, Caracalla made peace with the Caledonians on less-than-favorable terms which required the Romans retreat to the agreed border of Hadrian’s Wall.

Superb example, with an inusual idealyzed portrait, sharply struck and prettily toned, with iridescent highlights. EF/About EF. This denarius utilizes an early, idealized portrait of Maximinus that resembles Severus Alexander. His later coin portraits are more true-to-life, showing his large chin and and other heavy facial features. According to the ancient author and contemporary, Herodian, Maximinus was 'of such frightening appearance and colossal size that there is no obvious comparison to be drawn with any of the best-trained Greek athletes or warrior elite of the barbarians' (Herodian vii.1.2). This has lead some modern researchers to suspect that Maximinus suffered from some form of growth disorder, such as gigantism or acromegaly. (Ira & Larry Goldberg 80,2014, 3217 note).
