Interesting notion, @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix . Perhaps that's why there's a rug-rat -- somewhat unexpectedly, too -- on this denarius of AD 207,* issued during the joint reign of Severus and Caracalla.


Julia Domna, AD 193-217.
Roman AR denarius, 3.14 gm, 17.8 mm, 7 h.
Rome, issue 26, AD 207.
Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right.
Rev: FORTVNAE FELICI, Fortuna seated left, holding cornucopia in right hand and resting left elbow on rudder on globe; to left, child standing right.
Refs: RIC 554; BMCRE 29; RCV --; RSC/Cohen 57; Hill 920; CRE 335; ERIC II 89.

But, when this coin was reissued in AD 209* during the joint reign of Severus, Caracalla and Geta, this child standing before Fortuna was removed.



Julia Domna, AD 193-217.
Roman AR denarius, 2.99 gm, 17.7 mm, 11 h.
Rome, issue 1, AD 209.
Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right.
Rev: FORTVNAE FELICI, Fortuna seated left, holding cornucopia in right hand and resting left elbow on rudder on globe.
Refs: RIC 553; BMCRE 27-28; RCV 6584; RSC/Cohen 58; Hill 1066; CRE 333; ERIC II 88.

*One should take the dates of issue assigned by Hill with a grain of salt; Curtis Clay, as well as the curators of the British Museum are unwilling to pin down an exact date for most issues of Julia Domna, though Sear accepts Hill's chronology for the most part.

 

Here is scarce denarius representing julia domna with four children deemed to be symbol of four seasons.

 

Here is an uncommon reverse of juli domna denarius showing on its reverse the empress with four children representing the four seasons..

 

Oh, there's yet ANOTHER type of HILARITAS reverse for Julia Domna -- where the goddess holds a patera and palm branch:


Julia Domna, AD 193-217.
Roman AR denarius, 3.53 g, 20.0 mm, 12 h.
Rome, AD 202-203.
Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right.
Rev: HILARITAS, Hilaritas standing left, holding patera and palm branch.
Refs: RIC 558; BMCRE p. 161, *; Cohen/RSC 78; RCV --; CRE 351; Hill 554; ERIC II 97.
Notes: Ex-CNG; Ex-AK collection; Wildwinds "plate" coin.

I enjoy getting other than Denarii versions of coins...
