    Julia Domna is really piling it on here.

    Resizing the picture made it a bit blurry so I left the smaller version in.

    Julia Domna (under Caracalla)
    3.22g 19mm
    IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG draped bust right
    MAT AVGG MAT SEN M PATR Domna as Pax enthroned left holding olive branch and sceptre
    RIC 381 RSC III 111

    I believe Julia is claiming to be "mother of the Augusti, mother of the senate and mother of the country (or fatherland)". Since Augusti is plural this suggests the coin was struck before Geta was killed by Caracalla, c.211-212 AD.

    Happy Mother's Day!
