"Emperor Septimius Severus: A Legacy Carved in Stone and Coin" Step back in time to ancient Rome, where the grandeur still echoes through the ages. The Temple of Vespasian and Arch of Severus stand as majestic reminders of his reign, located east from Capitol in Rome, Italy. Coins tell tales of power and love; a denarius portraying Plautilla captures the beauty that enchanted Septimius between 202-205. An aureus showcasing Empress Julia Domna reveals her influence during his rule from 196-211. Septimius himself is immortalized on coins minted by an unknown creator. These precious artifacts depict a strong leader who ruled with authority and wisdom from 193-211. His son Caracalla also had his moment on an aureus coin issued in January-April 204. Beyond coins, architectural wonders further showcase the emperor's might. The Circular Temple at Baalbec, captured by Francis Frith in 1857, transports us to a world where gods were worshipped under celestial domes. The Arch of the Silversmiths stands as a testament to craftsmanship during this era. But it is the Arch of Septimius Severus that truly captivates our imagination. Robert MacPherson's depiction from around 1857 showcases its grandeur against the backdrop of Forum Romanum or Campo Vaccino – a sight that must have left visitors awestruck centuries ago. The legacy left behind by Emperor Septimius Severus is one etched not only in stone but also into history itself. His reign marked an era defined by power, love, and architectural marvels that continue to inspire awe today.
