Rare sestertius of Septimius Severus, which, according to Philip Hill's classification, belongs to his first emission, which probably began in July 193. This sestertius exalts the loyalty of the legions when the fight between Septimius Severus and Pescennius Niger begins and is of a highly propaganda character.
