Not sure where this ne belongs, so I'll put it her.

NERO and DRUSUS CAESAR

Again I didn't get here in time for most of my favorites but...


Dying at age one, Dharmasoka is the least common of the more common Lankan kings. I don't know if the others just didn't issue coins or if they are so rare that we don't see them. His coins carry a slight premium and are easy to recognize by the right character in the second row just below and right of the elbow.

..and who will show their Dyrantilla?

 

JULIA DOMNA

 

DIADUMENIAN

 

TRAJAN DECIUS

 

DIOCLETIAN

 

DELMATIUS

 

On the theory that Julia Domna might be shown under more than one letter, I'll suggest this is the place to show two coins where she is not called Julia on the coin. The legend reads Thea Domna which brings up the possibility that they are posthumous but I do not know if this is considered accurate. Considering how rare Diva Domna coins are, I find it hard to believe I would have two Provincials of that genre. Both are Nicopolis ad Istrum. The portrait styles and reverses strike me as earlier than appropriate for her death coins so I'd say the Thea is just an honorific.

 

DECENTIUS
