| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two winged Victories standing facing one another, each grasping a large wreath inscribed VIC / AVGG, held aloft between them in a symmetrical composition emblematic of imperial concordance. The figures are rendered in the formal, stylized manner typical of Tetrarchic gold coinage. The reverse legend FELICITAS SAECVLI AVGG NN encircles the field, proclaiming the happiness of the age under the joint Augusti, while the mintmark SMAQ appears in the exergue, denoting the Sacred Mint of Aquileia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Severus II's tenure as Caesar under the Tetrarchic system lasted barely two years before Maxentius seized Italy in late 306, forcing Severus into a military campaign he could not sustain. His own troops defected — bribed, according to Lactantius, by Maximian's promises — and Severus surrendered at Ravenna in 307. He was dead within months, either executed or compelled to open his veins. The Aquileian mint was geographically caught between these competing powers, and aurei attributable to Severus from this facility are consequently scarce survivors of an administration that collapsed before it consolidated.
