Most of the time, Juno's clothing is rather featureless, such as on these coins: But on these coins, the goddess decided to wear a garment with dots: Post your coins with decorated/patterned clothing!
Lotsa dots... ANTONINUS PIUS AR Denarius. 3.2g, 19.5mm. Rome mint, AD 138. RIC 9 var. (rev legend). O: IMP T AEL CAES HADRI ANTONINVS, bare head right. R: AVG PIVS P M TR P COS DE (sic!) II, Minerva standing left, holding Victory in her right hand and shield with her left; spear leaning on her left arm.
Hmm, decorated clothing... Here's a fancy shawl (or whatever the ancient word would be) worn by Athena Alkidemos. KINGS OF MACEDON, Antigonos II Gonatas 277/6-239 BCE, struck after 270 BCE, Amphipolis mint AR tetradrachm, 31mm, 17.06 g Obv: head of Pan in center of Macedonian shield, lagobolon over shoulder; shield decorated with stars within crescents Rev: BASILEWS ANTIGONOU, Athena Alkidemos walking left, brandishing thunderbolt and shield; helmet left, EMP monogram right Ref: SNGCop 1200v, EMP (maybe); R. Martin, "A Third-Century B.C. Hoard from Thessaly at the ANS," ANSMN 26, 536 (same obv. die). ex Demetrios Armounta Collection
There's a weird M.C. Escher thing going on here. At first, it looks like that "shawl" is draped over her chest, but that would make her left-handed, throwing the thunderbolt with her left arm and being twisted relative to her (rather shapely, I might add) derriere. But after further inspection, I think the "shawl" is draped over her back and she's holding the shield in her left hand and throwing the thunderbolt with her right. That would make this decorated garment consistent with an aegis, worn on the back, such as on this common Domitian type featuring Minerva:
That's exactly what I thought when I got the coin ! She is engraved in an impossible pose. I also believe the shawl/aegis is on her back. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an...ring-on-pan-syrinx.262085/page-2#post-2125248
I thought this one was clothed in an interesting fashion... The reverse is pretty good for a late 3rd century debased ant.
Here's young caesar Constantius II looking with a crooked smile at his two centurions doing a little dance around the labarum in their detailed short skirts.
