pastpost Valued Member France 383 Posts	Posted 08/26/2024 12:27 am Hello, Could you help me to ID the mint of Julia Domna denarius VENERI VICTR? Is it Rome,Emesa or Alexandria mint? On acsearch.info I found (to my opinion) the coin with the same reverse die. But the obverse is different. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7237259 Thanks in advance.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/26/2024 1:07 pm Poor Julia looks like she's had her eyes put out in some sort numismatic damnatio memoriae. The rev. legend spacing matches some issues of RIC 536 (attributed to Rome), cf. https://finds.org.uk/database/artef...rd/id/581968 for one example with similar style and spacing At least one source identifies this as a 4th issue/4th emission and calls it RIC 536 4.1 Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 08/26/2024 1:35 pm I'm not the most familiar with these but I think I would call this one a contemporary imitation with how strange the obverse style appears (to my eye). I just don't think I've seen any official type that looks like this. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/26/2024 2:41 pm Yes, I was wondering too if it might be a contemporary imitative issue or limes denarius or something along those lines, but it is close enough to one of the examples listed in RIC (unless that's also an erroneous attribution of an imitative issue to a Roman mint.)

pastpost Valued Member France 383 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 01:49 am @paralyse - Thanks a lot for your link. I think it could be Rome mint. RIC 536 4.1 is very similar to that denarius. Report this Post to the Staff
