"195 Dated Emesa Mint Denarii"

RIC433 C659	IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II T.RP.III.IMP.V.COS.II	Some late issues of Emesa are dated to 195 AD (TRP III). These coins often show punctuation separating the words and use what appears to be a gamma in place of one I in COS II. The reverse showing a seated captive is found with several minor varieties.
RIC432 C660	IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II TRP III IMP V COS II	On this coin, the captive is holding his head rather than having the hands tied behind his back.
RIC435 C658	IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II .TRPIII IMP .V.COS.II	The other dated reverse type shows a trophy of arms with two captives seated at its base. The captives always wear the curved hats that identify them as Parthians.
