Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 02:26 am Recently took the plunge and bought one of those "uncleaned lots" on ebay. Went for the couple of sestertii first, and noticed that one has a very pretty face: Well, what used to be a pretty face about 1,800 years ago. I've been looking high and low, but I am just not seeing the combination of hair wave + tall bun close to the head on anything but Didia Clara. Diameter: 25mm Weight: 10.02g Am I going crazy?

Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 09:28 am I think that you are going to need a sorcery course at Howard´s with Mr. Harry Potter to be capable of guessing anything about this particular coin but... Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

I can accept my coin is a similar dupondius. Maybe next time I'll think twice before trying to attribute damaged coins at 2:30 AM. Edited by Finn235 10/30/2015 2:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 3:57 pm My first thought when I saw that hair was Julia Domna. Much more likely anyway. But why Roman Imperial? Couldn't it be a Roman Provincial? Report this Post to the Staff
