Doesn't look like Chris is around. Does anyone want to post a coin?

Well... I just stumbled upon a very interesting coin while searching for something else, might be fun for GTE. Unless you happen to know this specific coin it will be hard. Despite the deity-like pose, it is in fact one of the types of figures listed in this thread's title, which is why I did a double-take when reading the attribution.

Boy Julia you really know how to pick the difficult ones. I think even with a clue I'm going to have a hard time with this one.

For me it's fun to see and guess at the unfamiliar coins because I have to search. As I search I learn. And unfortunately for my bank account, I also find a lot of coins I want to buy :)
OK, first hints: It's a she. A Roman empress. Provincial coin.

Way to go, ski! It is Livia. Cool coin, eh? Found on wildwinds while browsing for other Zeugitanian coins.  Quote:Tiberius, AE30 of Utica, Zeugitania. 28-29 AD. 17.92 gr. TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST IMP VIII, bare head left. C VIBIO MARSO PROCOS II SEX TADIVS FAVSTVS II VC, M-M I-V across fields, veiled figure of Livia seated right holding patera and sceptre. RPC 737; SNG Hunter 234. Note: M M I V in the reverse field has been interpreted as: M(unicipiu) I(ulium) V(ticense).. for Utica. With permission of http://www.artcoinsroma.it, Auction Dec. 2011. |
