Got it a while ago but just realized that I didn't post it here. Looks almost the same in hand except the spots (which I think were the beginnings of BD) have been treated and are gone. She was the empress depicted in the film Gladiator (although in real life Commodus had her exiled and later executed). Obv: LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F, draped bust right Rev: PIETAS, Pietas standing with head right, and holding patera, altar before, SC in fields, Rome mint RIC 1756 19.5 grams, 32 mm  |

Interesting coin. Its worn, but still very appealing. I like that it is almost square. I wonder if this is a hint at the shape of the flans before striking. Interesting none the less.

A nice example.  Below is one I sold last month. A metal detecting find from Wiltshire, here in the UK. 23.87 g, 30 mm. RIC III 1750, Scarce.  |

Glad you all like it! Masis, how much did it sell for? I bought my coin for only $17 shipped. Edited by VisigothKing

Nice coin ValiantKnight, even with the wear it looks like a solid coin. 32mm, that's a big one.
