<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5316394, member: 19463&quot;]In general those with a lot of Pudicitia, Pietas or any of the positive characteristics did not issue many coins claiming those virtues.&nbsp; What Julia Maesa did that really counted is celebrated more accurately by Fecunditas. How many rulers can you name that were able to replace a (grand)kid that was not working out with another?&nbsp; This was more common later and farther east (think Dida Rani) but Maesa started the idea.&nbsp; Who ordered the death of Elagabalus?&nbsp; I can not figure out how or why the Praetorians would select Severus Alexander unless Maesa were at least not upset about the matter.&nbsp; Is it an unfounded conspiracy theory to suggest that the elevation of Alexander to Caesar was just a step in the plan?&nbsp; </p><p>Julia Maesa Eastern mint FECVNDITAS</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1224542[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
