    Very sharp Herennia Etruscilla and Trajan Decius pair!

    Nicer than the examples I had in my first Roman collection (ca. 2007), of them and their son.

    Very nice. I have not collected the coins for emperors’ wives except for the Severan Dynasty.

    AE antoninianus
    Obv.: COR SALONINA AVG, draped bust right wearing stephane on crescent
    Rev.: PVDICITIA, Pudicitia, draped, standing left, raising veil with right hand and holding sceptre in left hand

    I did not find it with this obverse legend on RIC online.
