Juno on Domna Denarii--Rome vs. Laodicea mint

Post your Juno coins, your Domnas, your Laodicea mint issues! Whatever you feel is relevant!

I thought I'd post this new purchase, ex- Doug Smith via John Anthony, so as to compare the two IVNO types of Domna denarii issued under Septimius Severus, the first from the Rome mint and the second from the Laodicea mint. RIC lists no IVNO types from Alexandria, Emesa, or other mints.

The lettering is a different style--smaller and with few serifs--on the Laodicea issue and the drapery on Julia's bust is rather differently rendered. Furthermore, the flan is smaller, both in diameter and weight, on the Laodicea issue.

i do like the peacock coins! i just got these two in the last 30 days of JD, one silver and one not.

 

How convinced are you of the attribution of the IVNO REGINA to Laodicea? Mine is from Rome.

 

My catalog shows that as my old #1049 from Rome. We miss-listed. Private Message me.
This is Laodicea.

 

Great coins all

Not Domna but heres my Juno

 

Beautifull coins all. Some my Julia Domna:

 

I don't have with Juno reverse.

 

well, one of mine i posted was a Pietas reverse..and i'm not real sure about the other one.

 

In my opinion, the prettiest Iulia Domna profiles are to be found on provincial coins, for example, I bought this AR Drachma from Cesarea(Kayseri) Cappadocia as the prettiest of my 5 coin of this empress !

 

I have an S. Severus laodicean mint

 

Roman collector, both of your coins are Rome mint.

 

Yes, thanks; I've been so informed earlier in the thread.

 

Congrats with your new Julia Domna / Juno, Roman collector,beautifull sharp coin. Got a few Julia Domna's , but none with Juno.
I do have a nice Juno with Faustina on the obverse.

 

JUNO!

Searching for attribution of a Juno type Julia Domna Denarius I found this thread

I cannot tell if my denarius is from Rome or from Laodicea. How can you tell which mint it is?

 

Coins from Laodicea have a loop above the drapery on the side of her neck, like this:

 

Excellent, clear and very helpful explanation! Thank you so much

 

In meantime, I bought one Domna denarius with IVNO reverse:

and according to Roman Collector explanation I have one denarius from Laodicea:
