	Severus Alexander and his Mum.. Severus ruled from 222-235. He was rather under the thumb of his mother Julea Mamaea, but whoever it was that had the final say, his rule was just and fair and their murder by troops under the "Thracian savage" Maximinus, shocked the Roman world. According to historian Seth Stevenson, Alexander was "the father of his country, the friend of his subjects" and there are not many Roman Emperors who could claim that. Maybe it was simply the influence of Julia! Silver denarius of Severus Alexander, the reverse depicting Victory. Another of Julia Mamaea, the reverse depicting Vesta. The denari of Severus is a little worn and a bit pitted due in the main to the official debasement of the silver content in the 3rd Century. Price (2 coins) Ł40	Buy this lot

The last is a Shilling of Charles I (Tower mint under Parliament). MM (P) (1643-4). The last 2 coins are somewhat worn, but reasonable examples of coins in use in the 14th and 17th centuries.

	Shrapnel 8 genuine Roman bronze (+ 2 silver) coins that have seen better days. They have not been identified, and in all honesty, I think a couple would be very hard to accurately nail. That said they are better than real dross and contain a denarius of Sept. Severus, the best part of another of Geta and AE's of Theodosius, Constantius etc. They date from the 2nd - 5th centuries. They are, by no means, world beaters, but are all genuine, a bit of fun and not too expensive. 10 Coins Ł39	Buy this lot
