Septimius Severus; 193-211 AD, Rome, 209 AD, Sestertius, 26.24g. BMC-p. 387, *. Obv: [L S]EPT SEV[ERVS] PIVS AVG Head laureate r. Rx: P M TR P XVII COS [III P P] around, S C in exergue, Annona seated r. holding wheat ears before her, at her feet boy standing l., above the boy prow of ship. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex Savoca Blue E5, 25 Feb. 2018. Late in 209 AD new sestertius reverse types, including our Annona seated type, were introduced for Septimius, Caracalla, and Geta , and the same types were then carried on in 210. Dated to 209 these types are rare, and can be considered to be the latest rare middle-period sestertii of the three Severan emperors; but in 210 the new types were common, so the years of reduced sestertius production had apparently ended..
