I think this is a Faustina II, possibly Faustina I? On wildwinds a similar coin is shown but I do not think it is exact: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/faus...icka_139.txt

What do you think? Faustina? I know this one is in rough shape so I am not sure there will be an exact attribution but I am hoping to at leat nail down who is on the coin.

It doesn't look like either of the Faustina's to me. The hair style is wrong. I haven't dug into it very deeply as yet, but to me the hairstyle looks more like Julia Domna or Julia Maesa. Also, is this a provincial coin? The reverse makes me think it might be. Give me some more time. I'll see what I can come up with.

I know I'm reaching here but take a look at this Otacilia Severa. Does it look anything like your coin?

Thanks JW! I see now that what I thought was a bun at the back of her head may be the hair curled. I am not sure. Hear is what I hope is a better pic. This one may have to go in the unattributed pile.

I think this can still be attributed to some degree, but without it in hand, I don't think I can provide much help. Sorry my friend.
