[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3627747, member: 87404"]Very nice new pick up, [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER]! This bootylicious Venus type has been on my shortlist and last month came across this Domna sestertius at a great price, so I pulled the trigger. It arrived this past week, and I got home from a week vacay Saturday and was able to finally place my [S]hands[/S] eyes on [S]these buns[/S] this coin: [IMG]https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/collagemaker_20190727_173548168.jpg[/IMG] [B]Julia Domna, Wife of Sept. Severus, Empress 193-217 AD, AE Sestertius, Rome Mint, Struck 193-196 AD Obverse[/B]: IVLIA DO-MNA AVG, Bust of Julia Domna, hair waved and coiled at back, draped, right. [B]Reverse[/B]: VENERI VICTR, Venus, naked to waist, standing left, holding apple in extended right hand and palm sloped over left shoulder in left hand, resting left elbow on column, S-C across fields. [B]References[/B]: RIC IV 842 [B]Size[/B]: 30mm, 18.3g It has a very dark green & red mottled patina on it, so to get the detail to show, I had to photograph it reflecting the sunlight directly. Here is a comparison of what it looks like without the reflection: [IMG]https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/collagemaker_20190727_174107641.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
