[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3300486, member: 75937"]I've never seen that reverse design ever. Very interesting. She is dressed like Artemis -- She wears a chlamys which comes to mid-thigh and boots and appears with a stag, as in this example from Hadrianopolis: [ATTACH=full]874190[/ATTACH] But that's where the similarity ends. She has no bow or quiver on your coin and holds a baby. Very curious, indeed. Here's my only Domna from Philipopolis, a well-circulated coin with a Homonoia reverse: [ATTACH=full]874192[/ATTACH] Julia Domna, AD 193-217. Roman provincial Æ 24.4 mm, 8.59 g. Thrace, Philippopolis, AD 193-211. Obv: ΙΟVΛΙΑ ΔΟΜΝΑ CΕΒΑ, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ, Homonoia standing left in front of burning altar, holding patera and conrnucopiae. Refs: Varbanov 1385.[/QUOTE]
