Every now and again I go way off piste into areas I have no direct interest in purely due to being drawn to a particular coin. With this one I was drawn to the quality of the portrait, enhanced by an even grey tone to the silver. Julia Paula denarius Obv:– IVLIA PAVLA AVG, Bare, draped head right Rev:– CONCORDIA, Concordia seated left holding patera, elbow rests on arm of throne, star in left field. Minted in Rome. Reference:– RIC 211. RSC 6a.
Oh my => that's a nice lookin' lady ... sadly, I don't have a Julia Paula example to bring to the dance
Beautiful coin, Martin. Nice to see a different lady then usual domna. JP was a cutie. Mine: Julia Paula (219 - 220 A.D.) AR Denarius O: IVLIA PAVLA AVG, Draped bust right. R: CONCORDIA, Concordia seated left, patera in right, left elbow resting on arm of throne, star in left field. Rome 3.1g 18.3mm RSC 6a , RIC 211
Nice coins! Julia Paula is on my list to obtain in the future. Last time I checked the coins were out of my budget range.
