The dynastic types of the Severan dynasty have long been favorites amongst collectors of Roman Imperial coinage. They come in various permutations, different metals, and from different Imperial mints. The purpose was to legitimate the Severan dynasty after the tumultuous reign of Commodus and the subsequent years of civil war, and to sustain the idea of dynastic rule that had been reestablished by Marcus Aurelius, whom Severus claimed was his father. It appears that all of the Severan dynastic issues were struck at the same time, in AD 201/2, at the time that Severus and Caracalla assumed the joint consulate for AD 202.
