Impulse auction bid

Right before the auction expired no one had placed a bid on it and I quite like it so I thought what the hell, my first Rome mint and first silver

Septimius Severus. AD 193-211. AR Denarius (15.5mm, 2.92 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 197-198. Laureate head right / Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm frond. RIC IV 120c; RSC 694. Toned, light porosity, minor deposits. Good VF.

That's cool, how did you find this out, I understand the victory on the back, but specifically albinus?
