Even though the pictures are tiny, I can tell that's an attractive coin.

Here is the Lucilla from my first Roman collection.

I also stumbled across some Hollywood depictions of her, including Sophia Loren. I don't see her as looking at all like Sophia Lauren here, but at least Hollywood was not miles off, as they seem to have been later, with a beardless Joaquin Phoenix playing Commodus in Gladiator.

Great coins everyone and some are very beautiful ones! Congratz to the old emperor. Here are my coins of MA (posted the sestertius in another thread about Hadrian too). The seller of the dupondius said it was a scarce coin. I'm not in a position to say a coin is scarce, but besides that, i like - as always - the greenish color. The sestertius is brown though, but i was able to pick it up for a very very nice amount of money, and it was my first sestertius. So hey, why not.
