Yours is from the Laodicea mint; different portrait style from the Roman mint ones you typically see. Here's one of the same design from Rome,...
I can't get enough of the Severan women! Fascinating history, to be sure. Here's an interesting one, issued by her son, Caracalla, after her...
No such thing as too many Gallieni. I have dozens.
Shall we move on to Antoninus Pius and Faustina Senior?
That's an interesting coin, indeed, particularly in that it has no mint marks in the exergue or field. All I can suggest is to pull out volume 6...
