Severus II became Caesar when the huge Roman Empire was ruled by two Augusti and two Caesars. During this period, civil war ravaged the Empire as rival factions strove for power.

If you`re missing the scarce coin of this emperor, order now! Once these are gone, we don`t know when we`ll be able to locate them again.
