    Lovely Julia Maesa. I’m in the market for a denarius of her. I like how the die engravers typically show her aged face. On some coins she looks a bit like a frog. I want a frog one. But you have a glamour one. Very nice.

    Again, you floor us with the beauty of your coins and design!
    Where is the image of that empress from?
    I think I'm in love:kiss:
    Reminds me of the original RE Howard's cover artist, Frank Frazetta's, work. Just stuns a man to the core:

    Speaking of stunning, that Julia Paula is hard to come by, much more so in THAT condition:wideyed:
    I do also love your Faustina and Plautilla. Two ladies I also picked up this year:cigar::

    Nice coins, deacon-ray, all excellent examples! I wish I had your patience and talent for graphic design!

    This is my only Julia Domna denarius, MATER DEVM reverse, 198 AD, SR-6593, purchased last year.

    I like the Sabina, Julia Domna and Julia Paula denarii the most.

    Gorgeous coins, @Deacon Ray! Obviously selected for quality -- well-centered, well-struck, and well-preserved. And a lovely presentation, too!

    Thank you, @Ryro for reminding me that I needed to add an artist credit line.

    The painting is of Empress Theodora by Benjamin Constant, 1886


    I took the liberty of brightening the colors a bit.
