<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 4859951, member: 75937&quot;]You asked for the common among the common. The silver coinage of Julia Domna is far more common than any of the AV or AE issues. Among her denarii, coins with a PIETAS PVBLICA reverse type were the most common type to appear among the 5525 coins of the various hoards examined in Clare Rowan&#039;s <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/41725307" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/41725307" rel="nofollow">&quot;The Public Image of the Severan Women.&quot;</a> <i>Papers of the British School at Rome</i>, Vol. 79 (2011), pp. 241-273.
