<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aethelred, post: 2585984, member: 81808&quot;]Thank you Bing. When this coin was minted Julia had not yet reached 35 years of age and her life was still one of presumed happiness. In the years to come she would lose her husband, see her elder son murder her younger son, get breast cancer, have her elder son murdered, lose her position of prominence, fear for her safety and decide to starve herself to death. But that was all years away. When this coin was made she had it all, yet to me her portrait seems somber and matronly, almost as if she knew the calm could not last.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
