I'm so sorry, @Alegandron. How sad. I lost my mother the same way when I was 20 and we were in a car accident while she was driving me home from...
Doesn't look like a wabbit to me!
@Ryro, I would never call Apollo a pretty-boy (a pejorative term). He's pretty, that's all, although I admit that in the third image below he...
At some point, I think I'll try to make a list of all the personifications shown in this thread, as well as others mentioned but not shown (such...
I guess you're right. I didn't look that closely at the Germania figure before, and that's definitely a female breast on one side! On my initial...
It's not easy to find decent examples of 431/1 that aren't horribly expensive. At least the design is discernible on yours, unlike quite a few...
Fantastic coins! Do you know what attributes Gallia is supposed to have? I can't really see any. A beret and a Gauloise, perhaps?
Hey, I like it. Want to give it away? Seriously, do you also dislike the reverse of my mine, which is almost the same as the obverse of yours,...
Thanks for this. I had no idea that a turreted crown is still an attribute of Italia even now, after 2,000 years. Or that her depiction wearing...
Thanks for this; I was hopeful that someone might have an original Britannia to show, but wasn't really expecting it. I would guess that coins...
Wow, @zumbly! I didn't expect any one person to have so many great examples, but I should have known better. Italia also wears a turreted crown...
Listing various personifications in my last comment reminded me that I have a coin showing Italia myself: Marcus Aurelius, AE Sestertius, 173 AD,...
Does anyone have an Asia? Britannia? Gallia? Italia? Sicily? Europa? Arabia? Nilus? Libya? Judaea? I'm pretty sure there are coins with other...
So, what's the third one? I'm confused!
Was Tyche specifically associated with Antioch? If so, then it certainly counts!
Thanks. I was hoping someone would post a coin depicting Germania, since I don't think I've seen one before.
Not just a lion next to Africa; don't forget her elephant-skin headdress! Dacia carries a Dacian battle-standard surmounted by a wolf's head,...
Nice coin! Here's one with a reverse that's very similar to your obverse, issued three years after yours. Roman Republic, Aulus Plautius, AR...
I have only a small number of Roman coins with geographic personifications, but a new one arrived today: a Septimius Severus denarius showing the...
Thanks. So according to Sutherland, all or most denarii of Augustus and Tiberius were minted in Lugdunum?
Separate names with a comma.
