TMK65 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 02/18/2017 9:36 pm Her story is indeed fascinating. Here's mine, I've had this coin for about three years now. She sits proudly with my other Roman silver coins but is quite the drop off from others shown in this topic. Fantastic coins everyone.

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 3:27 pm We will be doing threads on each of those other women. Maybe save it for then? This thread is for Domna - not to be TOO picky about it. Report this Post to the Staff

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 2:04 pm Here's my humble offering...... Julia Domna. Augusta, AD 193-217. AR Denarius (3,84g). Rome mint. Struck under Septimius Severus, circa AD 200-207. Draped bust right / Pietas standing left, holding acerrum (incence box) and dropping incense onto lighted and garlanded altar to left. RIC IV 572 (Septimius); RSC 150. I bought her to go with her husband and my last post of Septimius Severus. I really like the portrait as I think it shows just how beautiful she really was.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 5:36 pm I wanted to wait until I had a nicer coin to offer for this thread... AR Denarius 211-217 (Struck under Caracalla) IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG DIANA LVCIFERA, Diana standing with long torch Since Julia enjoyed unprecedented power and influence for being a Roman woman, I thought that her "Mean Mug" portrait from her later rule was fitting.

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 08:35 am I'm on the road, so this will be brief. Great portrait on that one, Paul, she looks like a young mother content with her role of helping her family keep their position. That reverse is also appropo emphasizing that the service of the gods was in the purview of women to promote within the family (note the AVGG). Very nice coin. Steve, your coin provides a good thematic counterpoint and in great style too. What expression should be on a mother's face when her husband is dead and her eldest son has done in the younger? Life by the light of the moon, in the hands of the huntress. What I particularly like about the reverse on your coin is that the artist/celator has depicted the torch with flames you can see. Nice selections, both. Report this Post to the Staff

That's a lovely coin Finn235 !, shows great detail and the difference, as lrb said, over those few years took its toll for sure. Thanks for sharing Saludos Paul Report this Post to the Staff
