| Additional information |
The CONCORDIA MILIT legends on Severan aurei belong to a deliberate propaganda campaign following the civil wars of 193–197 AD, during which Severus had bribed, purged, and restructured the Praetorian Guard after eliminating his rivals Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus. Military loyalty wasn't assumed — it was purchased and then advertised in gold. The 202–210 date range places this issue after the Parthian campaigns, when Severus returned to Rome for the only extended period of his reign before departing permanently for Britain, where he died at Eboracum in 211.
