Septimius Severus; 193-211 AD, Syrian Mint, 194-5 AD, Denarius, 3.99g. Rev. legend var. of BM-347, C-142 (3 Fr.), and RIC-373. Obv: IMP CAE L SEP SEV - PERT AVG COS II Head laureate r. Rx: FELICIT - T[EM]POB (sic) Wheat ear between crossed cornucopias. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex Barry P. Murphy Severan Denarii Collection, website no. 242. Overweight specimen. With engraver's error TEMPOB for TEMPOR in reverse legend; this error not recorded in the standard catalogues, though BMC-350 reports a different misspelling of the same word, namely TEMPOM. A second specimen with TEMPOB, from the same dies as ours, was sold by Lanz on eBay in September 2013. A die break on this reverse die largely obscures the letters EM of TEMPOB. . VF (175)
