I have posted this one before... I have one of Olive Oyl... This woman wielded an enormous amount of power in the Late Roman Republic! And, Oh, yeah, and I captured it because of the History behind the coin: Roman Republic (disintegrating) Fulvia Late summer-autumn 43 BCE AR Quinarius (13mm, 1.67 g, 5h). Lugdunum (Lyon) mint.

Ex: CNG Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulvia The siege at Perusia lasted two months before Octavian starved Lucius into surrender in February 40 BC. After Lucius' surrender, Fulvia fled to Greece with her children. Appian writes that she met Antony in Athens, and he was upset with her involvement in the war. Antony then sailed back to Rome to deal with Octavian, and Fulvia died of an unknown illness in exile in Sicyon, near Corinth, Achaea.[46] After her death, Antony and Octavian used it as an opportunity to blame their quarrelling on her. According to Plutarch, "there was even more opportunity for a reconciliation with Caesar. For when Antony reached Italy, and Caesar manifestly intended to make no charges against him, and Antony himself was ready to put upon Fulvia the blame for whatever was charged against himself."[46] After Fulvia's death, Antony married Octavian's sister, Octavia Minor, to publicly demonstrate his reconciliation with Octavian. Antony never regained his position and influence in Italy.[47] Once Antony and Octavia were married, she took in and reared all of Fulvia's children. The fate of Fulvia's daughter, Clodia Pulchra, after her divorce from Octavian is unknown. Her son Marcus Antonius Antyllus was executed by Octavian in Alexandria, Egypt in 30 BC. Her youngest child, Iullus Antonius, was spared by Octavian and raised from 40 BC by Octavia Minor. Iullus married Octavia's daughter and Octavian's niece Claudia Marcella Major and they had a son Lucius Antonius and possibly a daughter Iulla Antonia.

(8.12 grams / 22 mm) eBay May 2021 Not a coin, but a couple years ago I found some stuff online about how the rapper Eminem looks like Severus Alexander - I agree! EMINEM AND SEVERUS ALEXANDER Severus Alexander was a 3rd century Roman emperor who, if we can believe his statues, looked a lot like Eminem. We don't know if he would appreciate rap music but he was know to be a pretty good orator. Word! http://www.dailyhogar.com/25-celebrities-and-their-uncanny-historical-doubles/14/
