SEPTIMUS SEVERUS, A NATIVE OF LEPRIS MAGNA, AFRICA WAS PROCLAIMED EMPEROR BY HIS TROOPS AFTER THE MURDER OF PERTINAX. HE IS AT THE SAME TIME CREDITED WITH STRENGTHENING AND REVIVING AN EMPIRE FACING IMMINENT DECLINE AND, THROUGH THE SAME POLICIES THAT SAVED IT, CAUSING IT EVENTUAL FALL. SEVERUS ELIMINATED THE DANGEROUS PRAETORIANS, UNIFIED THE EMPIRE AFTER TURMOIL AND CIVIL WAR, STRENGTHENED THE ARMY, DEFEATED ROME’S MOST POWERFUL ENEMY, AND FOUNDED A SUCCESSFUL DYNASTY. HIS PAY INCREASES FOR THE ARMY, HOWEVER, ESTABLISHED A SEVERE BURDEN ON ROME. FUTURE EMPERORS WERE EXPECTED TO INCREASE PAY AS WELL. THESE RAISES RESULTED IN EVER-INCREASING TAXES THAT DAMAGED THE ECONOMY. SOME HISTORUAN BELIEVE HIGH TAXES, INITIATED BY SEVERUS POLICIES, PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN ROME’S LONT-TERM DECLINE. IN 208 A.D., HE TRAVELED TO BRITAIN TO EMBARK ON REVITALISATION AFTER A DISASTROUS BARBARIAN INVASION. HE DIED IN YORK IN 211 A.D. AND WAS SUCCEEDED BY HIS SONS, CARACALLA AND GETA.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Coin Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Numismatic Specialist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
