KINGS of BOSPORUS. Sauromates II, with Septimius Severus. Circa AD 174/5-210/1. Æ (20mm, 5.55 g, 7h). Dated CY 496 (AD 199/200). Diademed and draped bust of Sauromates right / Laureate head of Septimius right; trident before. Cf. MacDonald 507/1. VF, green and red patina, some smoothing. These are not types that are normally found on bronze issues of Sauromates and Septimius, but are reserved for the gold staters. Perhaps a fourrée core or test strike?
