I just picked up a 5-coin lot filled with some ladies of Rome (and one guy), and thought I'd share. (and ask for some help...) Faustina Jr, AE As, Fecunditas with one infant in arms (RIC III 1639) Poppaea, Thrace, Isis headdress (RPC I 1756) Severina, CONCORDIA MILITVM, Q/XXI, Antioch mint (RIC V 20) And then I need some help with the other 2... I think this is Julia Mamaea, but I can't find my coin online, specifically with this short obverse legend. Reverse with female holding cornucopia sacrificing with patera over altar. And this one confronted bust, probably from Moesia somewhere... Markianopolis? Is that Elagabalus or Sev Alex? Has their nose. Would that make her Mamaea? Someais? Maesa? Or is the boy Gordian or someone else? Female on reverse, but not sure what's in her hands? Thank you!!
Close. It's Julia Mamaea's mother, Julia Maesa. The obverse inscription reads ΙΟVΛΙΑ ΜΑΙCΑ. The reverse figure would be Homonoia with a patera, cornucopia and altar.
I believe the reverse is Hygeia standing right, feeding snake from a patera. Obverse is hard to say, but from the portraits, I suspect Elagabalus and Maesa. It's a pentassarion. Marcianopolis is a good bet -- perhaps AMNG I 958 or 959.
