Q

 

Gee, four coins to remind me that I have none of hers. Nice set!

 

RI Orbiana w Severus Alexander Augusta 225-227 CE Æ AS 23 mm 8.75g Rome Concordia patera double cornucopiae RIC 656

 

Who is this person, and why is she on coins?

Are her coins scarce? What is special about your coins (not trying to be a smartass - I really know nothing about them).

 

Seia Herennia Sallustia Barbia Orbiana Augusta, also known as Barbia Orbiana, was an Augusta of the Roman Empire and briefly the wife of Emperor Severus Alexander.

 

Orbiana was a Roman empress, the wife of Severus Alexander. Her coins are scarce.

 

Nice coins!

 

Roman Collector => wow, congrats on those amazingly sweet OP Orbiana-coins!! (well played)
