If you do, would you be so kind as to post a photo of a sestertius of Lucilla with the IVNONI LVCINAE reverse type, p. 253, no. 18? Thank you so much! It supposedly shows Lucilla's hairstyle b, according to the classification in MIR. I think @ancient coin hunter's example has the same hairdo, but I'm not sure. Mine is hairstyle c: Lucilla, AD 161-182. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 24.10 g, 30.7 mm, 1 h. Rome, AD 163-164. Obv: LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F, bust of Lucilla, draped, right. Rev: IVNONI LVCINAE S C, Juno, seated left on throne, holding flower on extended right hand and swaddled infant in left hand. Refs: RIC 1747; BMCRE 1154-1160; Cohen 37; RCV 5504; MIR 9.
I'll re-post the Lucilla... Lucilla Augusta, AD 164-169. Æ sestertius, 30mm, 24g, 6h. Rome mint. Obverse: LVCILLA AVG ANTONINI AVG F; Draped bust right. Reverse: IVNONI LVCINAE; Juno seated left, holding infant and flower // SC Reference: RIC 1747. From the Mat Collection.
I have thought for a long time that a nice idea for a coffee table book would be photographing modern models with ancient hairstyles, with an overwiew of the haircut trends from republic to the fall of the empire. Now I know which numismatist should be consulted too.
not a book, but a two part series from the Celator-- http://community.vcoins.com/celator-vol-11-no-05/ http://community.vcoins.com/celator-vol-11-no-06/ also check out-- http://www.beastcoins.com/Topical/RomanWomen/RomanWomen.htm
@Hamilcar Barca, I read in another thread that you just acquired this reference book. Are you able to look this up? Thanks!
