[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8210789, member: 80952"]Here is a Julia Domna denarius (condition is not the main reason I like a coin), one of my favorites, also because of the propaganda [ATTACH=full]1440479[/ATTACH] Denarius AR 18 mm, 2,68 g RIC IV Caracalla 381 (denarius) Date: AD 211 Obv: IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG, Bust of Julia Domna, hair elaborately waved in ridges and turned up low at the back, draped, right / Rev: MAT AVGG MAT SEN M PATR, Julia Domna, draped, seated left, holding branch in extended right hand and sceptre in left hand So mother of the Augustii (plural), mother of the Senate, mother of the people. Can't ask for much more. But what I insist on - on this one even RIC has an incomplete/inaccurate dating. It is listed as 211-217 AD but since Julia Domna was the mother of "Augustii", this means Geta was still alive. So this coin is minted in 211. This is why you need to be as careful as you can when attributing your coins - one of the CT colleagues spotted this situation on my coin.[/QUOTE]
