<p>[QUOTE=&quot;corvusconstantius, post: 7925438, member: 123797&quot;]Great coins everyone! Faustina&#039;s are some of my favourites. There is a certain nobility combined with glamour that reflects her character.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.romanumismatics.com/catalogue_images/auction/xlarge/9035.143.13_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>An unfortunate scratch on the bust made up by lovely hair detail and golden hue!</p><p><br /></p><p>Diva Faustina I (wife of A. Pius) AR Denarius. Rome, after AD 141. DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust to right / AVGVSTA, Vesta standing to left, holding simpulum and palladium.

There&#039;s a combination of Severus Alexander and her own features, and it doesn&#039;t seem overly idealized. Surfaces and tone look a lot better in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>Julia Mamaea (mother of S. Alexander) AR Denarius. Rome, AD 222-235. IVLIA MAMAEA AVG, draped bust right / IVNO CONSERVATRIX, Juno, diademed and veiled, standing left, holding patera and sceptre; at her feet, peacock. RIC IV 343 (Alexander)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
