Capitoline She-Wolf right, head turned left and the twins Romolus and Remus suckling; under the exergual line, L IΔ (date). Dattari 4418 (this specimen). Emmett 1142. Good Very Fine/Extremely Fine. Ex Giovanni Dattari Collection, Il Cairo. Ex Giuseppe Nascia, Milano. Ex Athos Moretti Collection, Bellinzona, acquired in May 1987. The end of the reign of Severus Alexander is approaching, who on the reverse of this rare tetradrachm reiterates, with the significant display of the Capitoline She-wolf suckling the brothers Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, the clearly Roman-centric character of his management of the empire, and it is worth remembering that he never undertook, as his dynastic predecessors Septimius Severus and Caracalla did, a journey to Egypt.
