Good VF.
From the Weise Collection. Ex Gorny & Mosch 115 (5 March 2002), lot 1703.
Without an heir to take up the throne, the possibility of a civil war erupting after the death of an emperor was an enormous threat to public safety. This scarce issue proclaims the continuity – even the eternity – of the dynasty, depicting both of Severus’ successors.
