Roman Empire — Septimius Severus, AD 193–211
This rare and attractive aureus type was struck at Rome early in AD 210 and depicts Severus, Caracalla and Geta on horseback galloping side by side, a military scene commemorating the campaign in northern Britain that was in full swing.
This was the first occasion in Roman history when three emperors reigned jointly – Severus' youngest son Geta having been raised to the rank of Augustus just a few months prior to the issue of this aureus.
