This coin was in a lot of unidentifiable coins. But I think I got it - with some help. If I got it wrong let me know. I know, she's not looking so hot, but I'm going to post her out of respect that she deserves. This is a provincial made with orichalcum (a type of brass). Julia Domna. Tabae, Caria. 193-211 AD. IOV ΔOMNA CE, draped bust right / TABHNΩN, Tyche standing left holding rudder and cornucopiae.  |

 This silver Denarius was part of a massive hoard of over 2,000 Denarii that were discovered. The hoard was buried, most likely to keep it safe and hidden in a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. |

There are some beautiful Julias on these pages. Thanks to everyone for sharing them. This is my one and only Julia Domna. Not in such good shape, but here she is anyway. She is wearing her hair in the Chignon (Nestfrisur) style. (Thanks Bob L)  Julia Domna Denarius. Laodicea mint. IVLIA AVGVSTA, draped bust right / CONCORDIA, Concordia seated left, holding patera and double cornucopiae. |

Sorry for the slight re-boot of this old thread, but I wanted to share a recent pick-up for me: Julia Domna as Augusta with the Saeculi Felicitas rev (dating to 201 AD). I believe that the correct attribution is RIC 577, but welcome any input as I have much to learn about Roman coins.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I do like the difference in the portraits. She looks rather wistful in this one. |
