Not a new coin, but it's my favorite of Etruscilla. I like it because it illustrates the typical squarish flans used on sestertii in the mid-third-century, it's of quite fine style for the type, and I think it has good eye-appeal. Post your Trajan Decius, Herennius Etruscus or Etruscilla sestertii, coins of Etruscilla, or anything you feel is relevant. Herennia Etruscilla, AD 249-251 Roman orichalcum sestertius, 14.04 gm, 28.3 mm Rome, AD 250-251 Obv: HERENNIA ETRVSCILLA AVG, diademed and draped bust, right Rev: FECVNDITAS AVG SC, Fecunditas standing left, right hand extended to child standing at her feet; holding cornucopiae Refs: RIC 134a; Sear 9504; Cohen 9; Hunter 12.
Nice one. I will show mine off too since it rarely gets re-posted, unlike her silvers. Herennia Etruscilla (249 - 253 A.D.) Æ Sestertius O: HERENNIA ETRVSCILLA AVG, diademed and draped bust right. R: PVDICITIA AVG, Pudicitia seated left, hand raised to pull veil from face & holding scepter, SC in ex. Rome Mint 28mm 16.6g RIC IV 136b (Trajan Decius); Hunter 16; Cohen 22.
That's a lovely portrait. I can see why it's a favorite. I don't have a sestertius of hers, but here's one of Decius. Only slightly squarish.
