    My latest acquisition--a denarius of Julia Domna from Laodicea. Post whatever you feel is relevant!

    Laodicea ad Mar was a Phoenician town, refounded by Seleucus I Nicator in 301-281 B.C. Seleucus renamed the town after his mother, Laodicea. Today it is Latakia, Syria.

    rk5440bb0525.jpg Someone should mention that the majority of Domna Laodicea denarii have the small loop on the neck at the edge of the drapery. There are a few Laodicea coins that do not show it but most do.
