Hi Everyone, How are ya? I'm good and I just got this low price Silver Denarius of Empress Julia Domna off Vcoins for NZD$24 too. Pic. Julia Domna, (Latin: Iulia Domna; c. 170 AD - 217 AD) was a member of the Severan dynasty of the Roman Empire. Empress and wife of Roman Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus and mother of Emperors Geta and Caracalla, Julia was famous for her prodigious learning as well as her extraordinary political influence.
Here is a CCF thread where folks have been posting their coins of Julia Domna (if you look near the top of the ancients and medieval section of CCF, you can see that the "Women of Rome" is a whole subject area for us).
Julia Domna Denarius. IVLIA AVGVSTA, draped bust right / VENVS FELIX, Venus standing left holding apple and drawing out fold of drapery. RIC 580, RSC 198.
You have some nice distinctive discussion here and interesting supplemental images.
If you do not object I have added a link for this thread to the Julia Domna discussion thread in the Women of Rome list project. You will find a link to THAT thread in the post by Spense above and also in the project index.
