No 646: Roman gold solidus of Severus III:  A thicker flan than the original coin.


Severus III ruled from 461-465 AD. It was an insignificant reign and was described as

a mere ‘puppet–emperor’.


This coin shows, on the obverse which is rather worn, the emperor diademed, draped

and cuirassed bust facing right with the legend DN LIBIVS SEVERVS PF AVG.


The reverse shows Severus standing facing right with his foot on a serpent, holding a

long cross and Victory. In the field of the coin are the letters RM. The reverse legend is

VICTORIA AVGGG. 

The original of this coin is valued at over £2500.
