Post your Felicitas reverse types or your Julia Mamaea coins. I'd love to see them! Got a bit of cash for Christmas I thought I'd use to add to my collection. Found this nice little Felicitas seated denarius of Julia Mamaea, RIC 338. This will go along with the matching Sestertius, RIC 678: And the Felicitas standing denarius, RIC 335: And Sestertius, RIC 676:

Here's my SAECVLI FELICITAS Isis to match that of @Alegandron: Julia Domna, Augusta, 194 - 217 A.D. AR denarius.17.8 mm. 3.06 g. 180° IVLIA AVGVSTA, draped bust right. SAECVLI FELICITAS, Isis standing right, left foot on prow, nursing infant Horus held at her breast, rudder resting against altar behind; slightly irregular flan.
I agree (that was obviously the big-lure on that coin) ... it's unfortunate that the obverse is a bit damaged (nice legs, shame about her face)
