Silver Coin Of A Female

Okay, I've trawled the web. I cant find a coin to match this from this period.

The obverse reads CEBACTH IOVAIA. The I and the O are cut off, the AIA is concrete. The first letter is straight up, base appears as an I. The O is rounded at the bottom, but is cut off halfway up.

I can find no coin anywhere near this with CEBACTH then a name. At least, not from this period. 3 coins I've found have this format from the early empire. should I try opening an account at Forvm to try and get it IDed?

Thanks Jwharper - they came back as Julia Domna also, but the coin isn't listed at wildwinds and the coin given is a good match - but its in bronze...

The plot thickens.

Ancientnoob, I floated that idea earlier and it doesn't appear to be barbaric. The reverse is coming out now, and it's looking pretty roman too.

Im thoroughly confused...

Also, took me a while to realise that you were on about barbarians and not calling poor Julia plastic.

Not exactly. I have the information for the coin:

Julia Domna, 194-217 AD. AE22 (5.71g), struck under archon Annius Rufus. IOVΛIA - CEBACTH, draped bust right, hair in broad bun behind / EΠI POVΦOV CAPÎ"I-A-NΩN B NEΩKOPΩN, Demeter in double-chiton standing facing, head left, holding in extended right hand two grain-ears and in raised left hand burning long torch; at her feet, coiled snake left. Rare



But due to composition, no ID. That was bronze and in good condition.
