Julia Mamaea it is indeed, but it's bronze, and a Provincial not Imperial type, even though the language is Latin. From the colony of Deultum, now known as the village of Debelt, Bulgaria. The reverse type is Nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution and vengeance - a rather rare deity for coinage.
Wildwinds example.
You've probably noticed on Wildwinds the
partial inscription search feature. This is by far the most useful part of the Wildwinds site for me, since it helps greatly in identifying coins for which only a part of the legend is readable. I found your coin by typing "IVLIAMA COLFL" into the search there.
