I'll keep on with this thread though my mother is being in hospital for 3 weeks from now. I'm not sure she's going to make it. I always hope. I chose Aelia Flaccilla along with the 2 brothers Arcadius and Honorius who ruled the Eastern and western parts of the divided Roman Empire.

Charles, You, your mother and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Here's Faustina Senior that I won in a contest from Aethelred. Erin
I've been in this situation 7C, I wish you and your family the best. This coin belonged to my mother, I usually put it in my pocket when I got to events that she would have attended.
Thank you creating a great thread, Roman Collector! I'm posting a coin that portrays a tragic situation. A Jewish woman in mourning. She could be mourning the death of her son. The image could just as likely be a Roman mother in mourning.
Great coins, Gregarious! Somebody must have had hostile feelings toward Faustina the Elder, to deface the coin like that! Are those slashes ancient?
i would guess they are D Ray. i bought it years ago thinking it was Fausta. i figure an ancient damnito personalem
