Septimius Severus (AD 193–211) – AR Denarius
Roman Empire | SPQR Collection | NGC Ancients Certified Fine (F)
🔐 Cert #: 6710752-019
 
⚔️ The Founder of the Severan Dynasty
This certified silver AR denarius was issued by Septimius Severus, the battle-hardened North African general who rose to power following the assassination of Emperor Pertinax in AD 193. His reign marked the beginning of the Severan Dynasty, one of the last stable ruling families of the Roman Empire before the Crisis of the Third Century.
 
Struck during an era of expansion and militarization, this coin embodies both the power and ambition of a man who solidified his rule through conquest, political maneuvering, and family dynasty.
