<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7721036, member: 97383&quot;]Dirk, Your bronze of Aelia Flaccilla has exceptionally fine engraving on both sides of the coin, is in choice condition, &amp; has an attractive uniform patina <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. A great score from eBay of all places <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. There are still sleepers to be found on eBay <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I don&#039;t have any post Constantine I portrait coins of females but I do have an exceptional example of the last female to appear on a tetradrachm from Antioch, Syria, pictured below. Herennia Etruscilla was the wife of Trajan Decius, &amp; her portrait is depicted on a moon crescent as is commonly seen on double denarii. McAlee considers all tetradrachms &amp; as coins of her struck in Antioch as rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1323741[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Antioch-Syria, Herennia Etruscilla, AD 249-253.
