    Neat stuff, OP and everyone.

    Lucilla looks pretty good looking in most of her portraits.

    Let's see... digging through the archives of my old 2007-08 collection...

    Lucilla... Lucilla... wherefore art thou, Lucilla?

    Aha! Here she is.

    On a denarius. I remember the coin, now.

    I thought this was a particularly attractive portrait of her.

    Like how she looks on @TIF 's coin, too.
